I do not know about you. But I can study math a lot better if the book has a hardcover. This first chapter assumes you are coming from ground zero and is good to read just to brush up or see if there is anything new that you missed originally. There is a smooth transition and a gradual complexity as you go from the fundamentals through the subject. Now, some people will complain that it is not all practical or applied.
This was not designed as a course for practical or applied. However, it sure helps when reading other books that can only explain things in at least rudimentary math.
Even the fundamentals of trig are needed to follow “The Ascent of Man” by Jacob Bronowski. Now I call that practical.
