/sci/ - Science & Math

I appreciate that there is a Wikipedia but is it actually useful for anything other than finding a specific bit of info (population of a country) or a short summary? I mean does anyone read full articles? Because to me they seem awful. It's like everyone adds a sentences and when you read the whole thing it's a mess of random facts. I know that people work collaboratively on articles but does nobody have the common sense to read the whole thing and make sure it makes sense?

More specifically to science on Wikipedia: all the articles are written without thinking about who is going to read them. If I'm looking up Euler's formula (just an example) or whatever I'm probably not going to be a mathematician, so why would you use mathematical jargon and formulas in the introduction so that I have to read 10 other articles to get a basic idea of what it is?

I know it's hard to talk about complex things by using only simple language but Jesus it's like some autists can't understand the fact that not everyone knows everything they do. Why would you write an article for someone who already understands the even more difficult ideas?
