Line 12: ==Particular points== ~~rather make use of a textbook as wikipedia is unreliable and is easy to edit as shown previously.~~Studying mathematics from a reference source is not ideal. Unless you consult Wikipedia to answer a specific question, it is not reasonable to expect instant results. Mathematics textbooks are conventionally built up carefully, one chapter at a time, explaining what mathematicians would call the ''prerequisites'' before moving to a new topic. For example, you may think you can study Chapter 10 of a book before Chapter 9, but reading a few pages may then show you that you are wrong. Because Wikipedia's pages are not ordered in the same way, it may be less clear ''what'' the prerequisites are, and ''where'' to find them, if you are struggling with a new concept.
