It's amazing to see so many things included and yet so many missing. It really speaks to the breadth and depth of the subject. For instance, for elliptic curves, only a single result is mentioned (their points can be endowed with an abelian group structure), and it's really one of the most basic ideas known about these objects.
- jjoonathan 8y agoRight. If I pick one of these subjects where I know, say, 100x more than what is present, and know of the existence of 1000x more than is present, I can't help but multiply the number of subjects in this overview by that that same 1000x, and then my mind explodes.

One might even say it's a fundamental idea. Which is the whole point of the document :) Indeed you are right!
