I'm preparing real analysis I using the independently written textbook from a professor in my university.
Until reaching the chapter on limits and continuous functions it wasn't that bad,
but afterwards its just steaming bullcrap as learning material
>proof limit of (g o f)(x)
>the book wants to be edgy and uses a personal definition of limit, not the standard epsilon-delta
>tells me to consider 4 different sets, with at least 6 intersections between them
>"let W = W0 intersect W1"
>doesn't define W0 because lol who cares
>4 intersection later it says "therefore W = W1 qed"
>also "we suggest the reader does the alternate proof as exercise"
I might be a brainlet but for me this is just sloppy and cheap explaining.
So let's have a textbook thread, because how things are written matters.

Reading alternative proofs is so fun, you are just being petty. As long as your professor's book is not meant to be an "official" introduction to the subject then let him be.
