My book is written, as befits such easy material, in merciless telegram style ("Axiom," "Definition," "Theorem," "Proof," occasionally "Preliminary Remark")… I hope I have written this book in such a way that a normal student can read it in two days. And then (since he already knows the formal rules from school) he may forget its contents.
I will ask of you only the ability to read English and to think logically—no high school mathematics, and certainly no higher mathematics.
Please forget everything that you have learned in school; for you haven't learned it.
