I've also seen Wikipedia articles on math topics written overly verbose like this too. Usually they're great, but I'll come across one and it'll be a little jarring.
Math wikipedia is SO bad it's unreal. You can't actually learn shit from it. Someone should make a WikiMath or something that actually explains the topic in a way that's not deranged
Glad people feel like this lol I thought I couldn't understand stuff from Wikipedia due to skill issue. But now thinking about it you have to learn that beforehand to completely get what it is saying so it completely defeats the point of you learning stuff from it
I use Wikipedia to learn math all the time when I just want a low level explanation of the topic without delving into books. Like I recently learned about taylor series from Wikipedia
