I feel like it&#x27;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&#x27;s all this noise around the core concepts. Equations cut away all of that noise. And it&#x27;s not like I&#x27;m some huge maths nerd; I&#x27;ve always found language and philosophy far easier to learn than mathematics.<p>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.
