Mathworld's not exactly complete, but it does have a fairly pleasant habit of getting to the point - if it's not covered in enough detail there then thee extra verbiage on Wikipedia won't get me any further. I've never been mathematically enlightened by Wikipedia, which is odd as people (who I would usually take seriously) say that one of Wikipedia's strengths is its coverage of mathematics.<br /><br />I guess one problem is that I am really put off by waffly let-me-hold-your-hand-for-you expositions. A good paedagogical text for me is certainly not just a coverage of theorems and proofs, but it has good flow, discussing concepts as working mathematicians understand them and lightly drumming pitfalls and tricks into you. A good chapter on any subject allows me to put the work into context: what's the same and what's different vs what I have studied before? (for something at the level I'd hope from an encyclopedia see for example _All The Mathematics You've Missed_ by Garrity). You just don't get that from Wikipedia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-69397127353740620482011-06-01T03:37:08.231-07:002011-06-01T03:37:08.231-07:00@9:15: often, there's some assurance that the...@9:15: often, there's some assurance that the reviewers have done so.

The "little blue numbers in brackets" have a 50/50 chance of referring to an unreliable quaternary source such as a poor newspaper(!) article. This is especially so for Controversial[tm] articles where each side will war with the other with increasingly inappropriate citations which are uniquely considered acceptable on Wikipedia.<br /><br />For the more sciency articles you're more likely to have an appropriate reference barely understood and awfully explained, since "I just studied this topic in Undergrad 101" usually doesn't make you a good candidate for preparation of learning or reference material. I'm still annoyed when the mathematical articles on Wikipedia are lauded: they're wordy, waffling about random stuff ("I just studied this topic...") rather than actually getting to the point of neatly and succinctly presenting and proving anything, never quite unambiguous enough to make me sure of anything I didn't already know. The much terser Wolfram's Mathworld, for example, is much closer to the right way to do it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-54077914828127992512011-06-01T01:28:55.412-07:002011-06-01T01:28:55.412-07:00Hey Rob, start putting some effort in to your fuck...Hey Rob, start putting some effort in to your fucking reviews, shitdick.<br /><br />Carl's website now sucks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-65758461711227887112011-06-01T00:24:31.990-07:002011-06-01T00:24:31.990-07:00905's dialog bothers me a bit...
