@lcamtuf, Chapter 1 defines numbers, some common mathematical notation, and a few other things that give you hope that you can read this book.

You might get through Chapter two.

By Chapter 3, you,put it on the shelve with all your other Springer textbooks.

@jpgoldberg @lcamtuf Springer books are like the math entries on Wikipedia. They’re both places where people are in a competition to make themselves as baroque and not just esoteric, but practically occult as possible.

Now excuse me, I have to finish replacing the word “one”with“unity”

@lcamtuf this is the CS unit I keep taking. They change the name every year, but it's always this unit.

@lcamtuf I remember a commutative cube like that. I think it was either in Warner’s Foundations of Differentiable Manifolds and Lie Groups or in Bott and Tu’s Differential Forms in Algebraic Topology.

A book cover. Titled Introduction to That Thing, subtitled But only for people who already know it.
Second edition, Springer.
It has an incomprehensible diagram and is made in the typical Springer style with their logo.
