Great video! However, Admiral Lord Nelson died not knowing if his strategy worked! True, the battle followed Lanchaster's diffequs but shouldn't the coefficients A and B be equal it or close to it? Nelson's genius in the face of such odds was to treat the enemy force as 2 separate fleets. He sent 9 of his ships against half the enemy and the rest at the other half. The idea was to sacrifice the nine leaving that enemy force diminished. However, his remaining force will have won the other half battle with more ships left. So, in the third and decisive battle of the remaining ships, the British finally do win!
