For a lot of these things, if I had physical presence, I would be using whiteboards and gestures and drawing graphs in real time.

I can't do that via teleconference, so it's an additional challenge to think through points of clarity and emphasis beforehand.

the problem is that with math stuff, you really need to have as few limitations with drawing, etc. as possible.

This is why mathematicians still use chalkboards and not whiteboards, for instance.

I had not heard about that; will google it! We do a lot of whiteboarding in aerospace but the math is usu. simple

the easiest way to piss off a mathematician is to leave a dead whiteboard marker around.

easiest way to do that to an aero. engineer is ask "why don't you just [ignore thermodynamics or gravity itself]"
