In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

I’ve glanced through your solutions, and I don’t think they look right. Give me some time to remember the solution.

Yes, one is quite wrong, or maybe both!
One is so clever
One is straight out of the book

Re: Jane’s Exercises III
I forgot about #6. Thanks, scientia. 
Next question is on algebraic topology.
