You are observing the evaluation map ev_p: C(M, R) -> R, ev_p(f) = f(p), is a ring homomorphism. In that spirit, you might find this Terry Tao article on the Yondea lemma interesti…

My heart goes out to all the math students who were frantically texing their problem sets last minute

Richard Borcherds, a Fields medalist, has been putting out great math content on YouTube for the past year and a half ( https://youtube.com/channel/UCIyDqfi_cbkp-RU20aBF-MQ ). He e…

I like the way the Functional Programming HOWTO in the Python docs ( https://docs.python.org/3/howto/functional.html#small-functi... ) puts it: Fredrik Lundh once suggested the fol…

Alex Wright recently wrote a nice mathematical exposition on some of her work relating to Riemann surfaces, targeted at "a broad audience of non-experts." https://arxiv.org/abs/190…

Another great explanatory paper written for a broad audience is http://www-personal.umich.edu/~alexmw/BilliardsToModuli.pdf

A nice foundational textbook to start with is Michael Spivak's text "Calculus." This text is fairly conversational, it motivates its concepts well with many examples, and it will h…
