Write-downs explained

Scott Jagow Feb 11, 2009

Marketplace’s Senior Editor Paddy Hirsch reminds me of a geometry teacher I had in high school. He just knew how to explain things in a way that made sense. And he used stick-figure drawings, just like Paddy! This is my way of telling you not to miss Paddy’s latest Whiteboard session on what the heck a write-down is.
