This is terrific. I'm mathy enough to know e to several places, and use it in programs occasionally, but if you'd asked me how it might be intuitively derived I'd have been at a loss. And that's just for something inside my comfort zone - the article on linear algebra is just as illuminating.

This looks like it will be my commute reading for the week. But more than that it just makes me happy that it exists.

Thanks, glad to hear you're enjoying it. I realized that until I could explain a concept intuitively, I didn't really understand it -- and it became a mission to find some analogy that really clicked for me. Hope it gives you some entertaining reading.

Same here. I always was super interested in mathematics and still am. To have this resource to learn about where it all "came from" and how it actually works is great. Will read it on my commute as well!
