@redstarfish what ruins math for me is most of the notation and terminology. there is an old book (~1900) somewhere on the internet which explains things, i found that much more easy to follow.
modern math stuff for me always reads like the haskell "what is a monad" joke.
@bonifartius
I could recommend the "murderous maths" series, like this one
