> Did I miss something? Just the part about explaining it to a layman in simple terms..

  Of course, the raw text above won't suffice. However, you will note that the notation I used is learned in high school. To me high school mathematics are quite accessible, though I understand that most people forget it as soon as they can. So, I just assume I will have to start from kindergarten arithmetic. And I had, in fact. I once explained functions to a 14 year old girl. I went as far as high order functions (function composition, I think), and she understood. I checked, she could answer my questions correctly. She was bright, but still. I think I was able to explain functions in rather simple terms. Now, if I can explain functions to a 14 year old girl, the rest is certainly doable.
