Welcome! This guide aims to give you an introduction to the mathematics behind
the numeric hierarchy of type classes in PureScript's Prelude, and it's aimed
at people who haven't (necessarily) studied mathematics beyond a high-school
level.

Why?

students at undergraduate level. One unfortunate side-effect of this is that
lots of the material currently available on the web which describes these
concepts is sometimes a little inaccessible for people who haven't studied
mathematics past a high-school level. My aim with these posts is to help people
develop intuition for what these structures are and how they can be used so
mathematics past a high-school level. My aim with this guide is to help people
develop intuition for what these structures are and how they can be used, so
that that knowledge can be applied in PureScript code. I also hope that I can
help persuade you of the beauty of mathematics and convince you that it is
help you see a glimpse of the beauty of mathematics and convince you that it is
worth studying in its own right.

I want to stress that it is *not* necessary to read and understand all of this
