How do you like it so far? The first section can be a bit weird for most newcomers. So maybe you do not like this section, but it gets way better. Have you arrived to the discussion of a parabola, a neat discussion of snells law, and parabolic sector? What I found very cool was the discussion of tangency in calculus.

I read through chapter one. It's different than what I'm used to but in an interesting way. Haven't gotten to the parabolas yet. I'm excited to though.
