If I’m reading this right, this is saying, given: diff := abs(a - b) prod := a * b` Fine `a` and `b` by doing: temp := sqrt(prod * 4 + diff^2)

Fine `a` and `b` by doing:
temp := sqrt(prod * 4 + diff^2)
a := (temp + diff) / 2
b := (temp - diff) / 2
That was a lot of words for something that (I feel) is easily expressed with symbols. It took me a minutes or two to figure out what you meant by “slot”
- jmt_ 6y agoWhen it comes to math at least, I think the key is finding the balance between symbolic and lexical representation. Some ideas are far to "wordy" to not use symbols. Some ideas have far to much depth to just explain with symbols. But using words to explain symbols? Very good in my experience during my math degree.
