I have to cope seriously with this messy hand writing. We're living in the age of LaTex and the like, and many mathematicians and physicists still don't bother to learn it. It's strange. I mean, I have no objections against hand writing, but you should engage in a clean and readable result.
That would significantly slow down the lecture, and remove a lot of the context like the arrows and small pictures. Or he would have to make a presentation beforehand. This would double (very convervatively) the time per presentation, which is absurd to ask from something free.
@@caspermadlener4191 _"which is absurd to ask from something free. "_ I'm not so sure about that. Offering something for free with a bad quality is likely to be worse than offering nothing. Many people might be tempted to use a free version instead of a paid version and lose much time in doing so. Bad textbooks (not only free ones) frequently screen the good ones from view.

@@miloszforman6270For me this statement, namely "offering something for free with a bad quality is ... likely to worse than offering nothing ", just seems so absurd.

Sir, it is privilege that you record your lecture because no pure math lectures are avaialble. May Mahadev bless you longer and healthy life.
Thank you for this Dr Borcherds.
thanks for sharing with us your knowledgment. Itsa pleasure watching you always
nice sweater, thank you Doctor
why did this get reccomended to me
because it's the best
yeeeeeee
