With that title and reception I can imagine people bookmarking this for „later“ and feeling good about it. But who reads that stuff really?

To each their own, but 700+ pages for material that is done in my experience in the first 2-3 weeks of undergraduate math is more disheartening than empowering for a student, in my opinion.

If you can open a math book anywhere in the last 20% of pages and just start reading, you are looking at pop science and not lecture notes.

I'm in this comment and I don't like it.
