I did not expected this, I expected that the course assigned to me will be rather easy and pleasant to teach. I was wrong. There are other reasons; explaining them will lead me partially into politics, partially into non-mathematical aspects of my life. Neither is suitable for this blog.Owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13083493391293465339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8062754651764668865.post-50958283123034937302013-11-13T17:29:50.302-04:002013-11-13T17:29:50.302-04:00Dear Owl,
