| Aug 12, 2013 at 23:18 | comment | added | Taal | I suppose somewhere in between. I admittedly am not the best at communicating, and I can understand you're frustration, heh. It's a trait of mine I actually am very aware of. To be honest, I think I'll have to think about what I really want - as it's almost like I'm trying to nudge the question enough to where it overlaps into an area I wasn't aware of or didn't previously know about. It's hard to ask about something you don't understand in general. I'll just have to come back to this I suppose. | |

If you want to understand the formula for U (or anything else) LOOK at it. If you want something simple, then don't ask for complexities! The Wikipedia entry is an excellent, detailed entry with all the details. You don't understand it. So. What do you want? | |
| Aug 12, 2013 at 22:55 | comment | added | Taal | I appreciate your post, however it actually already reiterates most of what I already know or had assumed unfortunately. There seems to be some sort of pattern where almost every explanation I get stops at this one specific point. Perhaps this point is where it becomes too complex to explain or too much effort - I'm not sure. Either way, it is a pattern I've been experiencing from every source of information I normally use - which would ironically reiterate everyone's book statement. Perhaps I did not realize the answer was so complex; then again I've seen some intense answer on SE. | |
| Aug 12, 2013 at 22:50 | comment | added | Taal | Yes, ideally, a good book would help; however, it seems unnecessary with today's resources (like stackexchange), wikipedia (sometimes), youtube market competition (did you know for each million views someone gets they get paid $4000?), as well as a variety of other resources. I generally, just as my learning style, fail pretty hard at simple book learning as well. | |
