It's a reference encyclopedia, not a text book, for better or for worse.
- bmacho 4y agoIn my experience almost in every topic it is way better textbook than any textbook. Simply because Wikipedia has the right scope, and the right amount of content. Wikipedia can, and almost always do talk about anything in math in 3 different levels, and tell everything related (including history) about everything. Textbooks can't do that. To be said, this article is not graspable at first for me either. There is the "even simpler example"[0], but I am not even sure if it is a right example (different games can share a state, the amount of money), or just an analogy.
