It's his personal pseudosphere for personal use.

That book sounds like it might be a gold mine for my neurodivergent brain!

His approach tends to try making it all more comprehensible and intuitive in a similar approach to my own - hopefully, my attention span will allow at least a tiny bit of focus to digest it without an overload of euphoric enthusiasm - (my must my brain absorb and dissect every information like that?) I look forward to indulging deeper in that book. I found the free pdf online https://umv.science.upjs.sk/hutnik/NeedhamVCA.pdf

(But I seriously need a print version to at least allow the haptic feedback of a physical version enhance my attention span by at least a tiny degree. - Why have good books to be so expensive.... I wish I were rich, so I could afford all the books I need to learn about what the world holds together in its innermost (referring to Goethe here...) )

This book is all fruit and pancakes

Complex analysis - the perfect subject for combining visual and analytic thinking. I just read "Visual Complex Analysis" by Tristan Needham, a basic book on complex analysis: lots of historical references, uncompromising explanations, lots of problem solving and plenty of beautiful illustrations!

The Argument Principle just started to seem obvious. Send help.

Tristan Needham told me to go get some fruit or vegetable and draw these triangles, so I did. He didn't necessarily tell me to write out all the reasoning on the fruit too, but hey, if I were Needham I'd be pleased.

The essential prerequisite for finding the answer to a question is the desire to find it.
