Fair enough, bad choice? ahh.. not for me personally I like maths so this is not new or bizzard for me. Maths books are fantastic unlike other subjects you don't have to read that boring theory there are some definations if you want to read them read if not then don't (for the god sake, read them definations are important) just see the exercises and solve, well if you struck then why not see some solved examples what the hell are these example ok, ok, I get it maths is hard... because you suck at them! jokes aside, in primary school my math was also pathetic god and only I remember in my 5th class how much I punished for this maths every saturday when our Sir checks our notes I always got punishment because my work never completed.
