On writing and transparency
Each entry on Algebrica is written from scratch, drawing on a broad range of sources, from university textbooks to lecture notes and reference works in mathematics. The process is shaped by an engineering background, which influences how material is selected, structured, and presented. Where sources differ in notation or emphasis, they are compared and reconciled, then reorganised into a single coherent flow that follows a deliberate, logical progression.
The resulting content is original. Each entry is an independent exposition built from the ground up, written to be as accurate as possible while remaining clear for the intended reader.
The aim is to reduce without distorting. University sources are often dense by necessity, and part of the editorial work is to find what can be made more direct without losing precision.
This process is iterative. A page that seems complete may be revisited as adjacent entries develop, and inconsistencies in notation or depth often prompt further revision. Algebrica’s content is open, free, downloadable in Markdown, and reusable by anyone. Entries are progressively released and updated on GitHub in Algebrica’s public repository, and can be reused for non-commercial purposes.
To increase transparency, I am also documenting the editorial process and revising content to improve accuracy and reliability. On some pages a quality indicator is now visible, including a GPTZero score (no affiliation), as an additional signal of transparency. The score, expressed as a percentage, represents the system’s level of confidence that the content is human. For example, a score of 92% means that the text is considered human with 92% confidence.
Since I am not a native English speaker, I also rely on Grammarly (no affiliation) to support the proofreading of the texts.
