Michelle frowned. This was a little harder to grasp than the stuff that they did earlier in class. Trying to remember the way the numbers are assigned to the letters, Chelle hesitantly raised her hand.

"Professor, maybe it is because of the compound number?" she said, trying to see if it made any sense. Then she added, "I mean to say, you use your common name instead of your given name. And through the Chaldean method, you tend to unveil a deeper, more spiritual meaning of the name."

Okay, I'm not making sense.

Dismayed, she grabbed her head in her cupped hands. This was more numerology than Maths.
