Now I am not going to attempt to put you to sleep with any quotes from this latest mathematical excrescence, dear reader. Suffice it to say that this is more of the same gobbledygook that gave the world the equivalent of a financial venereal disease known as derivative securities. The object of which is to perform a looting of the physical economy via computerized trading, etc.
