Note to self
This article needs extensive cleanup and fleshing out. It's frankly confusing right now. I'm adding it to my to-do list, but maybe someone else will come along in the meantime and work on it. It is also written mainly from a Computers viewpoint instead of a math viewpoint.Pat Palmer (talk) 14:43, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
