- GeorgeTirebiter 7y agoThanks for saying this. On other math topics on wikipedia, I've read, re-read, and re-read them and still felt like I didn't understand. Maybe it wasn't all my fault.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoI think the Wikipedia math articles are not horrible, if you already know the concepts involved and just need a bit of a reminder on something. If you don't know them, though, they're not a good way to learn, IMHO.
- TwoBit 7y agoI've multiple times heard mathematicians says Wikipedia math pages are bad, and even experts in an area can be confused by the pissing of other experts in that same area.
- WAHa_06x36 7y agoMath on Wikipedia is just absolutely atrocious.
- harmoat 7y agoRemember, wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a textbook
