Yes, get a better book you nigger. There are tons of books, some of them actually being good with proper motivation and explanation for why said definitions are used.

there are books that explain and there are books that present results. in the preface the author usually clearly states the target audience.

Who has the time? If you cannot get the intuition behind a topic then either the author is shit, or you are not prepared for that topic. Any good introductory textbook will explain the intuition, and beyond introductory texts, you can intuitively intuit the intuition of any subsequent topic.

And most good authors I know will go to great lengths to explain the intuition if the definition is particularly important and complicated, even if their text is meant to be for advanced students.

Wtf? I hate math now!

I've attempted to read most of the meme texts that are commonly suggested and they have always been boring. I am curious which books you consider good.

The sad thing is, he probably is reading an introductory textbook. He's a CS fag so his IQ is probably in the negatives.

Can you read Finnish?

No of course I can't read Finnish.
