The title & subtitle of this is rather condescending to non-programmers. "Mere mortals"? "How to count"?

I like the title, and I think it's a good idea for a series. DOS for Dummies had a good following and I think it is a much more condescending name. If I came across a book called Options Trading for Dummies, I would be skeptical. Dummies should stay away from options trading. Options Trading for Mere Mortals would suggest that I can learn it without already being some sort of god.
