OGF, I am struggling because having to relearn and accurately employ the mathematics with a brain like a sieve with young, so I can keep up with very bright minds. Using AT's example of what some of the more challenging math looks like, someone cleverly wrote the calculations to Shrodinger's cat dilemma like this:
