I love how math is like a new language, in a new country, of culture you are not exactly familiar with. This article is like living there for few months. You see things, some of them you recognize as something similar to what you have at home, then you learn how the locals look at them and call them. And suddenly you can understand what somebody means when they say: "Each distributive lattice is isomorphic to an inclusion order of its join-irreducible elements." Having a charitable local (or expat with years there under their belt) that helps you grasp it because they know where you came from, just like the person who wrote this article, is such a treasure. | ||
