The LaRouchian exposition is not the most transparent I've seen.

I did not mean to hold up that editorial on algebra as something too far out, just as an example of what they do. They also did an article on an early Egyptian attempt to circumnavigate the globe, going East, that ended up in South America. It was an attempt by the Author to show that they could have been measuring longitude in 259BC. The magazine, in spite of its LaRouche backing, is quite interesting. 21stcenturysciencetech.com
