I'm reading Comprehensive Mathematics for Computer Scientists 1, has anyone read it?
I've picked this book last year, i wanted to understand the Rubato music composer and after i understood what would be needed to operate it, i asked Guerino Mazzola about a good book to get started on the necessary topics, he suggested me this book. I opened the book and i made the first chapter pretty fast, but when the second chapter came, i swear that the only thing i could see is something like the image below.
Now that i know a little more of maths due to books like "for dummies" and "The complete idiot's guide", i open the second chapter and it seems more like the image below:
It's russian, it's easy.I can read it slow and stuttering, but i kinda understand it.
I have a doubt on how it's reading should proceed. There are lots of axioms, remarks, proofs, sorites, etc.
Should i memorize each one of them? What would be a effective way of reading it?
Thanks in advance.
