Re:The Secret Math Society Known as Nicolas Bourbaki by ojnabieoot on Tuesday November 10, 2020 @04:02AM (#25044006)
I’ve always viewed Bourbaki as something like the CRC Handbook for pure mathematics: an exceptional reference and a necessary collation of wide-ranging ideas and information, but dry by design, and a poor way for self-learners to understand any new topics.

I also think it’s going a little far to say “remove the beauty” - but it is true that if you don’t already have an appreciation for the specific subject, that beauty is awfully hard to find.
