Kalid Azad is a national treasure, and should be given a grant to focus on improving math education nationally. His online content is great, which is exactly what this book puts in print. I thought the book would have some different content.

I don't have much more to add that hasn't already been said, but I did want add my rating just to give it another 5 star review. Hopefully, the more 5 star reviews the more the book sells and more people will really understand how all this math stuff actually works.

I hate the rigorous approach to mathematics. My learning style requires an intuitive understanding first and then I can learn the rigorous details that help reinforce and sometimes modify my intuitive understanding. There aren't many books that teach math this way, so Kalid's book should be required reading for any author who wants to teach math using an intuitive approach.

The rigorous approach sucks all the enjoyment out of math. It reminds me of when I was in the Army and drill sergeants could somehow suck the fun out of shooting automatic weapons (well, not ALL the fun).

This is an awesome book. Over the course of my career, Mathematics and I have had a long and intimate working relationship, even then this book gave me insights that I never thought of on my own. It should be required supplemental reading for anyone taking mathematics at high school or higher level. I wish the author publishes his insights on some of the more advanced areas of mathematics.

Good intermediate book

This book unlocks many concepts that are needed to succeed in mathematics. However, the order of presentation seemed arbitrary....my opinion, for what it is worth, -- the author seems to be a gifted mathematician who would do a service to students to develop a problems book companion. Most of us learn through practice and reflection.

An enjoyable math book

I enjoyed reading this and recommend reading it twice (it's short). Once without getting carried away with detail to see where it all goes. Then allowing it down to truly understand each example.

I wish this book had been available when I was a young scholar but it's never too late to get an intuitive grasp of math.

Simple Read and Easy Way to Grasp Math

I love math.

Still reading? Okay- this book made the concepts of the math I know much easier to explain to others. This is not a "how to" book but rather a "what it means" book. It's not a long read but it clearly explains a hand full of concepts that I understood but not well enough to explain to a child. Dr. Richard Feynman said something along the lines of "if you can't explain it to a 5 year old, then you don't really know it." Well, I can say I know this stuff now.

The book gives an indication that learning math is not for the happy few, but rather a skill that can even be used daily. I'm a big fan of the new mathematical approach that seem to emerge globally. This book could be part of that movement. Hope that one day math will be done differently in the schools and that children don't get bored by dull way of presenting mathematics to them.

Excellent book

The book delves into a high school math education. It takes topics that from the outset look unintuitive, and makes them intuitive. I really liked the explanation of e & ln.

I like this book, the website, and the idea behind the book. Concepts such as the the natural log and Euler's formula show up in biochemistry (such as NMR), and it has never been...Read more

A nice booklet but does not justify the price of a book.

This book is excellent at teaching those who are learning or have learned math better insights into concepts they simply memorized in order to do calculations.Read more
