You are comparing TCP a relatively basic topic in the grand scheme of computing with Rees_algebra which is fairly specialized, we could take a simpler topic more foundational and clearer to understand and compare them.

I can understand that this feels like one is so much more complicated part of it is also how the articles were written, wikipedia is not known for quality maths explanations.

But beyond that this comparison to me feels unfair.

Let's take Euclidean algorithm or just modular arthimetic for example what a lot of computing even is based on I feel like that's a fairer comparison. No?

Perhaps that's too easy but I just find this specific comparison very unfair to both Math's intuitive-ness and Computing's complexity. Perhaps I am the one being delusional.
