My god that book is fun to read.

Why is it so fun to read? Because it’s not Rudin. Apostol is still terse - most of the math books really have little fluff.

Um yeah - that should be really fun. I wish I could carry it along with me.

But eh - screw the other books I’m reading. I’ll just read this.

oh and by the way - it’s excellent reading for high school students. It’s supposedly at the senior undergraduate level but the knowledge it assumes isn’t that much at all. Just make sure that you’re comfortable with the epsilon/delta definition of a limit.

(and I need to get a hand on Griffiths “Introduction to Electrodynamics”. Why did I just stop reading that? Ugh - I want to read Pinker too. Then I want to read Koch. And Artin’s Algebra. And …)

edit: omg the typesetting is a pain >: (
