Talk:Common Lisp/Advanced topics/Numbers/Example 1

This page would be reached by someone in the process of learning Lisp. Credit to the author for providing a real solution to a complex problem ("real" and "complex" being intended in non-mathematical senses here). But it suddenly hits the reader with degree-level maths, and, to boot, it admits that the algorithm used is not much different to what you would have in C. Surely there are better examples to illustrate Lisp's handling of numbers and to encourage functional thinking in programming? --Muddy selene (discuss • contribs) 15:59, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
