Hmm, the "first few pages" end just before the "meat" begins.

From the table of contents, there seem to be short prose sections inteleaved with the teaching sections. I hoped to see an example of the teaching section, not the prose.

Yeah, I should update that to have the full first chapter.
First chapter is up now at https://pimbook.org/pdf/pim_first_pages.pdf

Also note that the Amazon "Look Inside" lets you see basically any page. Some readers have told me the first chapters were too slow, and so I think more advanced readers will want to breeze through that (though the applications in the first two technical chapters have a coolness to them that is hard to beat!).

Would love to see a little more of the math - am hooked on the idea though!
Amazon lets you browse more of the book and you can get a better feel for it. The E-Book you have to suggest a price, which in theory seems nice to pay what you what, but now I don't know what I'd pay. :)
