This is the 'Programmed Learning' style (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmed_learning http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmed_learning). (It's what led me to 'The Little Lisper', in the same series as 'The Reasoned Schemer'). Another excellent example is Engineering Mathematics, by Ken Stroud (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Stroud http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Stroud). I used this at college, and have always loved the style: short 'frames' of explanation and examples, with questions leading onto the next frame, building confidence and skill with each bite-sized step.
