 This project requires strong interest in and dedication to serious mathematical programming
 and knowledge of C++, especially using templates which Boost.Math makes much
-use of to support not only built-in float, double and long double but also multiple precision types.
-You will need to have experience of using Boost libraries, including Boost.Test, and
+use of to support not only built-in float, double and long double but also multiple-precision types.
+You will need to have experience using Boost libraries, including Boost.Test, and
 a rudimentary or working knowledge of GIT will be useful.
 
 A preliminary investigation for this project can be found here:
 [https://github.com/boostorg/multiprecision/blob/develop/example/hypergeometric_luke_algorithms.cpp]
+
 In this file, we are investigating Chebyshev expansions for multiple-precision calculations
 of hypergeometric functions.
 
-If this code leaves you terrified, then this project is not for you.
+If this code leaves you utterly terrified, then this project is not for you.
 But if it only frightens you a little bit yet also piques your interest
 (and you have a passion for numerical programming), then you are the right
 candidate for this project!
 
-If you would like to demonstrate your skills, use the file in the
-link above such that hypergeometric_0f1 is used for multiple-precision
-calculations of cylindrical Bessel functions (i.e., cyl_bessel_j).
-Use Boost's cpp_dec_float_50 type, for example. Discuss the relation between
-hypergeometric_0f1 and cyl_bessel_j, investigate convergence properties,
-and take a peek at run-time characteristics.

 You can use any platform, Linux, Mac or Microsoft with your IDE of choice,
 perhaps Visual Studio, Eclipse, Code Blocks, or Net Beans.
