Do I need a formal letter?
My apologies, polymath. I'm afraid that I have zero ability/talent for math (nor am I any type of intellectual): I'm just a random guy who finds math interesting and wants to gain a basic understanding of it. Based on your credentials, I'm pretty sure that I'd bore you or any serious student of mathematics. With that said, there are certainly highly intelligent forum members here and members who are good at math, so I hope that you are able to meet them. Thanks for joining AF, sir.
No, don't diss yourself that way, bud. Don't apologize! You are studying math, and you have a PERFECT opportunity to address a person who could help you over a speed bump or two when you need it. FWIW, when I taught math and physics, I would have given up income to have a class of students who actually wanted to be there, as opposed to just putting their feet up on the desks and acting like I wasn't there.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
