Nice. Another interesting article; The Mathematical Pranksters behind Nicolas Bourbaki - https://daily.jstor.org/the-mathematical-pranksters-behind-n... And of course wikipedia; Nicolas Bourbaki - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Bourbaki Anybody here actually browsed/read/studied the Bourbaki books? How approachable are they and what is the easiest one to start with? Any expository/explanatory/commentary/annotation of the texts for the mathematically inclined layman?
