I can understand your example with cars, but continuing with the analogy, if
someone ask for the best car, he usually has no real experience with any.
So, if I should give advice for trying a car, my suggestion go to the
easyest, cheaper, general purpouse ever. In this respect, people like me
needs some introductory text, well written, with no assumption of prior
knowledge...something that I espect could leverage the curiosity of the
reader, something able to attract people to more specialized reading giving
some general knowledge useful for orienteering in the wide (and wild) fields
of math.
Am I asking too much? :-))))))))
PS: as an example, I love electronics. I always suggest the "Art of
electronics" by Horowiz & Hill as the best book ever in this field. Simple
and wonderful. Is there anything similar for Math?
