I'd say my goal is not so much about avoiding math but more about learning intuition-first rather than equations-first. Top-down vs. bottom-up, maybe. Most of material that I've encountered about math-heavy stuff tends to do the latter. I imagine there are many people who're great at picking apart an equation and deriving things from first principles; but for me, I find it more manageable to get the big picture first, visualize what's going on, and then finally learn the math behind it. So far the DSP Guide book is doing a great job of presenting things that way. Another good example of this kind of style is https://betterexplained.com/ https://betterexplained.com/ (some of their articles are great companions to these DSP topics actually!)
