Dr Charak is one author whose books can make you grasp all fundamentals easily be it his book on medical astrology, yogas, fundamentals/elements, Laghu Parashari oe Varshaphala. If you want to grasp fundamentals easily & lucidly then head to books by Dr Charak.
No doubt the Elements Of Vedic Astrology is a superb & one of the most comprehensive text on the Parashara system of analysis of basic vedic techniques. Even the mathematical techniques have been dealt with in detail. Both the volumes integrated into one concise text is a good step. Recommended for all students of Astrology who want this as a concise birds eye view of the entire course. Also recommended for advanced learners who can use this as a refresher course for grasp of all fundamentals under a single roof.
