Comment on Ask HN: Is is possible to self study undergrad mathematics from books?

Comments

And you can see from the comments that Math is not self-learnable because someone decided this property and they intentionally make Math not self-learnable through books.

Just look at those excuses. "you need a mentor" "you need someone teach you how to prove" "you will do it wrong" blah blah blah. Are these just implying that Math is not a storable and transferable knowledge because you simply not smart enough to record the knowledge down into analogue or digital form whatsoever?

That is why I love Math, but hate mathematicians. Unlike programmers, programmers just write and teach every god damn thing they know without a hassle. But mathematicians? They keep everything as secret and bring them to their tomb.
