It is one of the most boring books that I have ever, ever read in my life, and furthermore, since I haven't touched real math since senior year of high school, it is quite challenging, and regularly hurts my liberal arts feelings.

However, I need to take this book with me because I will be forced to read it, locked down in the courtroom with no other alternatives. I've only done a third of the assigned reading.

God, graduate-level math really sucks.
