How do you actually read math, physics and programming books? Reading them the same way as you'd read a novel doesn't seem right. Your intuition is correct. When people read a novel, they often "forget" that they're reading words and picture the action. The optimal reading speed for that is 200 to 250 WPM. You can't read mathematical papers, where everything has precise definitions, at that speed and expect a high rate of comprehension if everything's new to you. It takes a lot of time. Do you really finish such books? Yes, if I'm interested in the subject matter. It takes a lot of time, though. |
