Hello All,<div><br></div><div>I've recently had the opportunity to explain in prose what denotational semantics are to a person unfamiliar with it. I was trying to get across the concept of distilling the essence out of some problem domain. I wasn't able to get the idea across so I'm looking for some simple ways to explain it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Does anyone know of a way to explain what's the meaning and objective of "distilling the essence" without introducing more jargon. One thing that comes to mind is how Newton's equations for gravity were a distillation of the essence of the way things fall.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance,</div><div><br></div><div>David</div><div><br></div><div>-- <br>David Sankel<br>Sankel Software<br><a href="http://www.sankelsoftware.com">www.sankelsoftware.com</a><br>
