How do we relate to information?

In a way, mathematics is kind of language. But,
then so is every area of knowledge. And of
course, that means a certain amount of exposure
to each thing will take time to "penetrate". And
yet, we still teach classes like everyone is going
to "get it" the first time. Some will (a few), most
won't and probably all will not quite fitted in to
the program.

Ways of Thinking

Associative thinking, and analogical thinking.

In the 2-dimensional Euclidean plane we can find
the intersection of two lines using the WAY of

   "two equations in two unknowns"

Similarly, we can take a differential equation 
and restrain it via a set of constraints and
get a certain solution; a diff set of constr's
gives a diff (or no) soln.

What happens when fractals collide?

That is, fractals as graphs of an equation.
