Thanks to both.
I'm hoping I'll get enough mathematics knowledge soon to be able to contribute to the maths puzzles here.

Need to get out of white's area. Peeping at 'a' or 'b' would only hurt my moyo and give me half an eye. Run before living. So long as I keep the white dragon just a little weaker than my own group, I think I will keep the overall balance in my favour.

There seems to be a weakness with

I'm behind. I can't say by how much, but it's a lot. The only chance I have of catching up is to grab initiative, and seeing as E15 is probably alive anyway, I think breaking out into the centre with that group is a good start. This move is sente, if I'm not mistaken:

This is getting complicated...
edit: board fix.

Initially, when I played c16, I was pretty sure it was sente; white would defend the corner with 'b'. But white thinks that
is bigger, presumably because I need to defend it, perhaps something like 'a'. But I do not think this is the case. As for ignoring
, I was considering 'c' to help my weakish group, 'd' to put pressure on white's weak group, and something around 'e', to build my moyo. 'c' is lame, it does very little; 'd' has weaknesses; and I can't find a move around 'e' that works well. So I'm going to push at 'b' to build a base for my group and take points from white. The turn at 'f' would be nice, but there isn't time for that yet.

I still think
is bigger than
. White had to play 2 moves to make black respond in the right here. On the other hand, he is going to get some much needed outside influence.

Hard choices: maybe a good sign of a quality game.

I think
looks threatening, but does no real harm so long as
gets my group out. I don't currently have 2 eyes here, but with
, my upper left group is almost settled; and so I have only 1 weak group. I think white may be able to pressure this weak black group to help his weak group on the left, but I should be still ahead in points even if he does.

Terribly sorry, but I seem to have fallen ill -- I'm not sure if I'll have the energy to play in the coming two days, and then the introduction starts (that is, if I can still go)...
I want to finish this game at some point, but I probably won't have the chance to reply for a while.

Well that is too bad about being sick, especially just before your start at University.
I'll keep my eye on the game and we can continue when you are ready!
Cheers,
