I find myself reminded of the "for dummies" series of books.
they are written in a humorous tone, and intersperse joke drawings between the chapters.

In college, I was a mechanical engineer living with a CompSci major, CompE major, and a CompSci / CompE double-major. I'd occasionally stop them when they were explaining things to me with "Explain like I'm a MechE". Slightly less self-deprecating than "mathematically inclined idiot", but same gist.
Because of this, I was also quite useful as a rubber duck for debugging.
