After reading several articles I came to the conclusion that every Wikipedia article on math concepts which are covered on betterexplained should start with the link to betterexplained. I know it's not going to happen, but it would benefit hundreds of thousands of people.
I feel like it's often easier to learn concepts from equations. The betterexplained articles are so wordy and contain so many analogies (some of which are leaky abstractions) that there's all this noise around the core concepts. Equations cut away all of that noise. And it's not like I'm some huge maths nerd; I've always found language and philosophy far easier to learn than mathematics.
Oddly enough, I find betterexplained much more useful when I have already grasped the core concepts, because it does a great job of connecting to other concepts.
Thanks for the feedback! I see the articles as a supplement to the formal description people usually have in hand when they are googling for help :). For the succinct formal definition I definitely recommend Wikipedia or Mathworld.
Wow, glad to hear the articles had a positive impression :). I'm bouncing ideas for intuitive guides for any Wikipedia topic. After the 10 min intro, you can read the Wikipedia article for more details.
