I didn't get very far into "The Fourth Dimension." It was just like math textbooks explanations of how to solve problems. When somebody explains it to me: one step or more has been omitted because it was assumed that it was known or understood.
Then I went back and read "The Fourth Dimension" an Amazon customer review" It advised Rucker's "Geometry, Relativity and the Fourth Dimension," was easier to understand.
