What if writing wikipedia articles was treated like publishing on prestigious journals? (somehow)
- sigstoat 8y agowikipedia already covers abstract algebra (the subject necessary for understanding the math in this article) rather well. what more do you want?
- Cobord 8y agoThank Richard Borcherds (R.E.B.) for a lot of that.
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoSomething that covers abstract algebra rather well if you don't already know abstract algebra well enough to know what all the terms mean? I mean, I suppose you could try to walk the graph of definitions of terms in Wikipedia to try to understand one of the articles. But I'm pretty sure that's not an acyclic graph, and it's not clear where to start in that process.
