OMG! After ALL THIS, I flipped over to glance at some of your tutorials, and what do you know ... I HAVE WORKED THROUGH SEVERAL OF THEM AFTER ALL! lol In particular, a few years ago on a snowy day I dug into the imaginary number tutorial, which I found to be fantastic. I had learned about them in school, of course, but never to the depth that you explained them. I was actually doing some hobby reading on quantum physics, and needed a good review of imaginary numbers. Your tutorial was all that and more. I even tweeted "Imaginary numbers have the rotation rules baked in: it just works." Small world. Pleased to have had a conversation with you, even if it did start with me misunderstanding you and harping at you for no reason.

Haha, what a small world! Happy to have the conversation too -- in my years as a blogger, I've realized many disagreements just boil down to misunderstandings. Glad if it was able to help you get into quantum, that topic has been on my to-study list for a while.

  Do me a favor, and write a good intro to Category Theory! (I'm shutting down my laptop and going to bed, and I saw all the Category Theory tutorials I currently have open in other browser tabs).

    Thanks for the suggestion - that's been on my topic list for a while! So much math I want to learn :).
