I won't promise anything, but I am going to CSUN and could definitely
jot down points and do a review/article.
Of course I would like to write an article on math accessibility, as
everyone knows that's kind of my hobby, whether anyone would actually
read it *grin* that would be a different story, but the offer stands.
Cheers
