Sacagawea in Louisiana Purchase and Lewis & Clark she escorted
I'm a fan of historian Michael Wood! One of my favorite items from him was the BBC documentary series, "In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great."
The quote you mention from Wood comes from his historical researches regarding India. (You could also look for his BBC documentary series, "The Story of India.") The "rejection of a whole way of understanding history" was the way that Wood described the actions of Asoka (or Ashoka -- you'll see both spellings). Asoka was ruler from 268 to 232 BC of lands that would later become known as India. Asoka was a great conqueror but also someone who found enlightenment through Buddhism. After conquering the Kalinga region in eastern India, rather than feeling some great rush of pride or accomplishment because of their victory, Asoka felt guilty. So he worked hard to improve the lives of the Kalinga people that he had conquered. This was what Wood was referring to when he said Asoka's attitude/approach "was a rejection of a whole way of understanding history." Conquest was not something to be celebrated triumphantly. Rather, the conquerors had an obligation to those whom they had conquered.
A coefficient is the number attached to a term. In this case we want to know the number attached to the term c
14a - 72r - c - 34d
If there is no number visible in front of a coefficient then you can assume that there is an invisible 1 in front of it.
14a - 72r - 1c - 34d
This case the coefficient of the c-term is:
-1
The reason it is negative and not just positive 1 is because the subtraction sign acts as a negative sign
