It almost certainly has something to do with my abysmal ignorance about things Java, but I don't understand this difference:

(1)
user> (map  Math/sqrt  [5  6  16])

Unable to find static field: sqrt in class java.lang.Math
  [Thrown class java.lang.RuntimeException]

(2)
user> (map  #(Math/sqrt  %)  [5  6  16])
(2.23606797749979  2.449489742783178  4.0)

Thanks for helping me understand.
