When we wrote that Louis was "essentially self-taught" in mathematics we certainly did not wish to imply that he did not receive a good schooling, just that this schooling did little to introduce him to anything beyond elementary mathematics.
Kapag kami wrote na Louis ay "totoo sa sarili-itinuro" sa matematika namin tiyak ay hindi nagnanais na magpahiwatig na siya ay hindi makatanggap ng isang magandang-aaral, lamang-aaral na ito ay maliit na ipakilala siya sa anumang bagay na lampas sa elementarya matematika.
