Really bumping up against this taking a math class. It’s not just the ick feeling of getting slapped with a Google AI rendition that may or may not be accurate. There’s at least 4 or 5 other vendors, Chegg and the like, doing the same thing but keeping their explanations behind a login wall. That’s the entire first page of Google search results now. Of course, simply copying and pasting questions from a textbook is a terrible search strategy. But I still wish I could find a durable math Q&A community that wasn’t slop-adjacent.

I’m glad I studied when hyperphysics was top of the search results. Education now seems miserable.

limiting to .edu or ye olde mathematics stack exchange might get you part of the way, in addition to the previous suggestions! Lots of good stuff on old university websites!
