this is waaaay more enjoyable than i thought it would be, especially with the benefit of hindsight (cantor *was* cooking! and he knew that) wonderfully terse and to the point too
RE:
ok cantor's writing is super crisp and clear so far, really liking it. skip the introduction and start with page 85 (93 in the pdf). he's starting by describing the set theory [webhomes.maths.ed.ac.uk/~v1ranick/pa...](π.pdf )
RE:
is there any repository or a place with freely available English translations of classic mathematical papers? i mean the actual historic stuff, like original writing by Euler, Cantor, etc. ideally well-curated. i donβt actually know how clear their writing is, so inline modern notes are welcome too
iβm enjoying learning mathematics in Lean quite a bit. i do it recreationally but i am starting to wonder if i can ever get paid doing it.
the main obstacle is that nobody has a reason to pay me to learn basic things, and i seriously doubt my ability to move beyond those. even then, itβs academia
