Aha. There is
no adequate textbook for the typical [[Mathematical Tripos]] course. So a wikibook
rendering is actually quite a sound idea; the main issue not being reliability, but the
need to expand exposition.
There won't be one textbook for the entire Tripos, no... you have to
get textbooks on each lecture course. Sometimes the textbook won't
coincide exactly with the lecture course, but you can usually find one
that covers a superset of the course, or two that cover the entire
course between them.
Not so, really. If you did the Fluid Dynamics course as set up by George Batchelor, then,
yes, the Batchelor book would be the 'book of the course'. But this is not
typical.
