RE: Assumptions, the audience and arithmetic?

John says, " <<At one point in the procedure is a series of
steps where the person... subtracts one number from another.  The number
subtracted is often negative (meaning, in layman's terms, change the sign
and add). When we hit this spot, my SME went into some pretty
convoluted and arcane descriptions of this process.  If my perception of the
typical tech writer is correct,
there aren't many of us I can't walk circles around when it comes to
math.  The notable exception is Dianne Evans who post to this list
serve and who has mentioned having a math degree."
