Where are some good webpages, books, etc. that are just big lists (and accompanying explanations) of concepts?
Giving special weight to strategic, tactical, mathematical, or quantitative concepts.
It's weirdly hard to find highly-comprehensive groupings of any of these things, without running into other problems.
E.g.:
- Polya's "How To Solve It" is a big list of heuristics for math and problem-solving... but it's not necessarily comprehensive.
- TV Tropes has some indexes like the "Gambit Index" that are sort of like this, for strategies.
- It's hard to find a remotely good "math encyclopedia", that's both deep and comprehensive. Closest might be Wolfram Math World (barely explains a lot of its entries) or the Princeton Companion to Mathematics (which is the closest I've found to what I want to see for abstract strategic ideas, "hacks" in the CS sense, etc.)
- Encyclopedias/Wikipedia aren't super focused on any of these specific versions. The few wikis I *have* found for each topic, tend to be tiny and abandoned.
- Conceptually.org has basically the kind of format I'm looking for, about the "abstract concepts" topic I crave... but it only has a few dozen entries, and is optimized more for shareable articles than for dry technical analysis. (For that matter, what kind of dry analysis would be best for a real "technical encyclopedia of abstract concepts"?)
Curious to hear of more resources that can fill the gaps of this bizarre want I have.
