Since I saw the awful material in high school, I was interested in writing a textbook that clearly explains mathematics for young people who need to learn math, that you could read from cover to cover without an instructor, if possible. Further, math curriculums lack important and interesting aspects of the science such as history and philosophy. While it is difficult to put all of these things within a small volume while your student still passes their classes, I aim to try, for mathematics is a wonderful thing, and its history is full of brilliant men who are often underappreciated.

Whenever there is a large line of people for a certain service, whether on airlines or food courts or confession lines, we have the impulse to always take the place of the person in front of us, even when it is cramped and actually better for us to remain where we are until another few places in line advance. We also generally consider it an inconvenience when people in front of us do this exact same thing, as if they were keeping us from moving forwards by waiting the same amount of time with delayed initial movement. This phenomena ought to be studied.

There is a tendency in media and fiction literature, especially fantasy, where a main character is extremely powerful, as if gaining supernatural abilities was something they easily accumulated, like age. In some, such as the popular fantasy series Frieren, it is taken for granted that as people age they have a greater ability, as if power were simply (natural talent * age).

While this seems harmless in itself, I think that it breeds a real dissatisfaction in people, since this fiction does not line up with our natural abilities. First, we obviously do not have magical abilities. Second, the abilities that we do have will greatly wane and decay if they are not practiced carefully and repeatedly, such as memory, or skill in playing an instrument. Third, these things do not increase like y=x, where we experience constant improvement, but there is usually a huge plateau of visible improvement before certain abilities are finally realized. For example, in language learning, it will take a lot of time before someone is conversationally fluent, or can read at a strong pace, and before they are able to do that, they will feel greatly inadequate compared to the existing men already fluent in these things.
