Why do American math textbooks use so much prose and avoid symbols compared to the French/Bourbaki school?

I'm a Brazilian math student, and I recently had a massive "math culture shock" when transitioning to American literature. Im curious about the historical/pedagogical reasons...

The recent streak of LLM conjecture proofs and "mathematics is over" - questions from a non-mathematician

I'm a programmer, not a mathematician, so forgive ignorance on the mathematical side, but I'm reading over the recent conjecture counterexamples trying to gauge how...

Should we even bother?

Everything I see today is "AI solves 20,000 year old conjecture!" "AI solves DinitzGargGoemans conjecture!" "AI solves 42 Erdos problems in 5 minutes" I have...

Let's say A becomes competent enough in mathematics and basically all STEM fields to do the work of humans, will you still be doing mathematics?

I am in high school and self studying mathematics with the goal to get to algebraic geometry/differential equations/topology (basically as advanced as I can get...
