In general, one should be able to find existing open source code as a working example that passes a test, such as from Perl's cpan for example. If this page is to be kept, the esoteric math symbols and terms should be translated.

:Ridiculous. Is there a rule requiring that Rosetta Code tasks be useful in daily computing? Of course not. Esoteric math symbols? Maybe you think computer science has nothing to do with math. But this is also blatantly wrong. This problem has been the subject of several research articles, and good algorithms exist, period. That you may be unable to implement them is nobody's concern. There are other more or less difficult algorithms on RC, and I have no problem with that. RC is not limited to "Hello World" and "How do I write a for loop?", thankfully.
