When Math is Misused - Image Processing

In this article, I am complaining about a odd image processing book that takes 2 pages written in math to explain what could be said in 3 or 4 sentences!

I was reading in our Image processing book, about histogram matching. It took me 2 hours to understand it! I'll give you an example of what I am talking about:

To do something, we have an array, and we have a value. We want to know at which index does this value exist. This is what it means overall. In other words, inversing a function by looking up the set of its outputs. I am wondering why wasn't it said that way, even if as a conclusion or summary.

What he wrote was... see it for yourself:

"An array and a value and u wanna know the index of that value" ---> that was fast and easy :D

I am usually a "simplificationist" :D
"Simplization" ( aka simplification :P ) is one of my interests, I consider it the most important process for effective learning.

sob7an Allah a lot of blog entry ideas come from within words in comments

Btw who invented this new word: "simplization" ...its not found in any English dictionary so far(and I doubt it will :D )

simplization (n.) : The process of simplizing a piece of information. As opposed to Simplification which is the simplifizing the same piece of information ; refer to the source code of the original computer program that generated English. ( English is an open source alternative to Latin, exactly like Linux is to Unix, you see, Latin is now Obselete )

English didn't exist before they invented it, thus we too can evolve it more than it is :D can't we ? Or is it patented ???? :D :D :D
