But it's not the job of such a paper to teach them about these things. This sort of paper serves as context and motivation. The material itself can, and should, be learned from other texts designed to teach it. I think what you have is an excellent piece. Read carefully at first, then skim more and more as you get lost. Inspired, go and read about some of the necessary math, then come back and get further next time.

That is exactly why I took linear algebra in college. I (tried to) read the original Google paper and was like, "eigen-what??" and decided to take the class as an elective. Linear algebra is stupendously useful material, and I think it really should be standard in any CS curriculum. It wasn't in mine.
