> something interactive with exercises and engagement

Books have exercises. It's your job to engage.

This book, in particular, has 3 pages of Problems per chapter. The only way to learn the math is to do all of them.

thanks. i was worried about job security for a nanosecond.

It's a wild world where "reading the documentation" or "researching a topic" has become a career superpower. I'm glad my education largely predated social media and cell phones, and that I learned to read and work problems independently. OTOH it often makes work a very lonely, taxing experience. Being a human index into documentation is a hell of a lot less fulfilling than working with people who also can read.

yeah, I mean 3Blue1Brown has done a great job .. and maybe those would be even better if you could app-ify them into something you can interact with.

Current gen of LLM programming AIs might make it less leg-work to make these

3b1b is great but if you want to do deep technical work, you’re eventually going to have to get comfortable with text as a medium

I urge you to rethink this perspective. All research shows that paper increases comprehension significantly over screens and even over eink. Additionally hand note taking again has a positive impact.

It's never worked for me. I own tons of books that i want to read but never will.

Well, there's also school.
