Final pill: mathematics is about as hard to read as philosophy, it’s just about getting used to the terminology

MAYBE IF YOU STOPPED INGESTING —OR INSERTING?— "PILLS" YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT MATHEMATICS, AND PHILOSOPHY, ARE TWO BRANCHES OF KNOWLEDGE THAT ARE NOT MUTUALLY COMPARABLE, AND THAT NEITHER ONE OF THEM IS "HARD" IN ITSELF.

This book is great.
I only have a very limited math education but was able to understand it pretty easily.

Yeah it teaches you set theory/calculus as you go along.

A good book

I think most phil and lit folks who have taken logic at some point should be able to follow to the foundational set theory mathematics that underpin microeconomics (i.e. the part of econ thats actually meaningful). The more complex math in a lost of econ is actually less complex if you just understand how the set theory and basic calc build on each other.
