Leonard isn't interested in anything like this. Leonard has stated that
he hates mathematics, so he can't be bothered learning anything of a
mathematical nature. And anyway, he might be afraid that any learning he
might receive from these pages will diminish his vantage point of being
able to see all of physics from a disinterested distance, since they would
bog him down in what he perceives as unnecessary detail.

And all dared to brave unknown terrors, to do mighty deeds,
to boldly split infinitives that no man had split before -
and thus was the Empire forged.
