The reason that so few had read the book was partly because the subject matter was difficult, partly because Waring was a poor communicator, and partly because he did not have a good algebraic notation.
Ang dahilan na kaya ilang had basahin ang mga libro ay bahagyang dahil ang paksa ay mahirap, dahil bahagyang Waring ay isang mahinang tagapagbalita, at bahagyang sapagkat siya ay hindi magkaroon ng isang magandang algebraic notasyon.
