I completely agree with you. A corollary of my comment is that while not necessarily providing theoretical justification, sometimes doing this whole problem solving thing helps seeing why a field of k…

I have the version of this book in Spanish (Editorial MIR), the translated title is 2000 Problems in Linear Algebra . This publishing house (MIR) doesn't exist anymore but now goes under the na…
comment
That's the general style of the book, but further along the way it has problems that require proving statements by referring to the properties or definitions of the actual structures involved (ve…

In the book Fields Medallists' Lectures by M. Atiyah, there is a short (4 pp.) article written by Jean Dieudonné where he succinctly explains the specific contributions that made Grothendieck s…

Most recently Latin America too, as academics from the UK, France and Spain want to make us believe.

I meant it from a numerical analysis/differential geometry perspective (the reason I attached the reference). While not being strictly a surface, it is characterized by a mid-surface, and a thi…

Yes, it's a vibration of an elastic axisymmetric thin shell (surface of revolution, as you meantioned). Going deeper into the theory, to know or characterize the sound it makes one should have a …
comment
Surface of revolution is 'okay', 'solid' would mean its interior is completely filled. What you're describing is an active area of research in numerical analysis (adjacent to …

I remember that when I was a sophomore in high school I wanted to give a shot at higher maths and started reading some articles there. I found [0], which states that between any pair of distinct real …

If I recall correctly, they are planning/about to do this in Chile.

This is remarkably accurate and resonates with me a lot. I did mathematical olympiads in high-school, where intuition to crack problems plays a major role. Then went on to college to study an undergra…

There was also the drama of a teenager that wrote almost most of the articles of Scots wikipedia [0], with almost no knowledge of Scots. Some of the articles have been corrected, but the structure the…

Awesome work! First time I played I got 50/55, generally I look for signs on the street, apart from the architecture of the place, how the people look and what language they speak. Naturally the …
