This is not a classroom textbook geared towards learning. It is a dry, prolix reference. I love math...if you're not someone who WANTS to know math, this may do more harm than good for you. It doesn't convey what the math is accomplishing or the point of the math.

IMHO there's just no place for an average textbook these days; a textbook has to offer a brilliantly organized compilation of material just as exciting and engaging as what's available free on YouTube and math-oriented websites.
