Unlike theorem-dense competitors, this book treats examples as primary content, not footnotes. Each major concept is immediately followed by a fully worked numerical or graphical example. Common examples include: re-derive the example from scratch

These examples are designed to be replicable: a student can close the book, re-derive the example from scratch, and truly own the method.

The subtitle "With Examples" is well-earned. This is arguably the book's strongest asset.
