What is Algabrostic Spastigraphy?

Josh Sonnier stumbled, purely by accident, upon algabrostic spastigraphy while teaching a remedial math course at the University of Louisiana. A student proposed to him that new techniques were necesarry to solve the difficult formulas found in homework problem number 4.

"all them letters and numbers and shit... I aksed my friend, he said we aint got to do problem 4 because it too hard, or sumpin'. You gots to have a degree in algabrostic spastigraphy to solve it. Shit. I ownt know! We could leave class early today?"

Mr. Sonnier assumed the student was making an excuse for not finishing his homework. Maybe, just maybe, he was right. Slowly, Josh began to contemplate math problem number 4. Perhaps researchers needed algabrostic spastigraphy.

Although a gifted and brilliant mathematician, Josh could not unravel all of the mysteries of algabrostic spastigraphy by himself. History remembers Magellan as the first man to sail around the globe. It forgets he captained several ships full of men.

Josh introduced his friends, each experts in their own fields of inquiry, to algabrostic spastigraphy and asked for their help. They joined him, offereing whatever resources they could.

Known collectively as "The International Center for the Advancement of Algabrostic Spastigraphy" Josh and his fellow researchers work out of a small house in Lafayette, Louisiana, not far from the college classroom where their field of study was born.
