I just wish their math articles were more comprehensible to normie dummies like me
don't feel bad, i have a degree in that shit and a lot of is incomprehensible to me.
throwback to my 10 year old self reading the article on complex numbers over and over trying to understand even 3% of it, all because I heard about them in passing and it sounded interesting
I think even for people that have studied a fair bit of math a lot of it is difficult to parse. Which I guess is fair. An encyclopedia is meant to be a reference and summary of knowledge, not necessarily a teaching tool. I think it still makes an alright guidepost for something, which I can then use to find learning materials.
