> I don't like Strang books that much as I find them a bit verbose I'm not sure I agree with you. I remember his elementary calculus book, where he states and proves the fundamental theorem of calculus on the first two pages (including the definition of derivative and the definition of integral). He says something like "this is not a car analogy, this is the real thing and we are already done, the rest of the book is just minor details and examples". I do not know how you can be more concise than this, considering that half of the first page was taken by a cute drawing of a speedometer and an odometer. That you call verbose?
