Thought of 2 Difficult Math Problems

[matt grime]

Is there some heirarchy that says 'the calculus level' is lower than the 'algebraic level'? You had the solution before, but you just weren't happy with it. The solution was perfectly correct.

Actually, the whole problem in our communication is that "calculus level" is higher than algebraic level; it's a classic case of the answerer thinking more deeply about the question than the asker was expecting, and answering it at a higher level (i.e. using calculus) than the asker wanted (i.e. using algebra).

Whichever way you want it, dear, you won't find any other best linear approximation to foo(x) about (1,2) than the one I posted..
