It's a truly wonderful read, made better by the fact the author doesn't quite understand what's going on.

The usual format that fun mathematics is presented (being talked at by someone who is very well versed in the subject) comes with a heavy cognitive burden - and often I just can't really make it through.

When the author is not an expert the writing is just so much more accessible - it's easier to understand and making it through feels more of an adventure and less of a lecture.

I've never thought previously how much I would enjoy this format though. I'm here to see more amateurs stumbling through mathematics.

Also, wasn't expecting this sort of side-quest from the guy who got me into React.
