Order (ring theory)

Order (ring theory) is another math concept that makes no sense to almost every human being on this planet. That's weird to think about.

I mean, click that link and read the article. It says things like: "In less formal terms, additively \mathcal{O} should be a free abelian group generated by a basis for R over \mathbb{Q}."

It's weird that some people's brains understand that. On the other hand, even chickens have brains. It's true. You can eat them.


I don't really like onion rings.

  3. It's actually very basic pure math. A freshman pure math major should be able to completely understand that article :)
