Some paragraphs on wikipedia are truly heinous

I'm sure some math grad could understand this but like nah this shit above my pay grade.
Ok I'm not being paid at all, but still ...
as someone who understands half of those words (not doing a math degree), math wikipedia is nice when you are confronted with young-shit-fuck conjecture in a text and you don't remember what it is. it gives you an overview and links to related concepts you might also want to refresh your memory on. only english is good though the other languages are unfortunately basically just stubs.
I don't think it's reasonable to expect some of the more advanced math on there to be accessible to a general audience, but it'd be nice if it was aimed at like... a math undergrad trying to understand something a year ahead of their curriculum, you know? Instead of someone who already knows all of it and just needs a refresher on which one's the Young-Shit-Fuck Conjecture and which one's the Cox–Zucker Machine.
Yeah I get that a lot. It's how I use math wiki as well. But when I genuinely want to learn something cause I gotta use it and need a quick reference It's either
Or
it's not useful for learning at all. it's not formatted to be educational it's formatted to be informative. you go on something like the addition page and they have group theory stuff on it. it's just not a good difficulty curve.
