I wish some subjects of mathematics could be summarized in a TLDR fashion. It would make it much more interesting as an introduction.

I remember that we used to write very small sheets of formulas and other memos to condense a class into a much shorter thing.

Simple.wikipedia.org seems to somewhat be that.

I have always liked math, but I can see why people don't like math or get interested in math. The literature is exhaustive, unnecessary long, and just too arcane.

I will always be frustrated with the image of mathematics and how laymen often say "math is not for me", but sometimes I can understand why.
