put back the intermediate variables. just because you don't name them doesn't mean the compiler doesn't have to store temporary results. you might as well give them names so the next person can read this.

i perused this in the library recently. it looked like it would make a nice freshman course, or material to help folks with a less formal education build up a nice base for their existing knowledge. i don't think there is much in it to inte
