I. Elements

Behind 2 + 3 × 4 lies a hierarchy, not a sequence of arbitrary moves. This first volume starts there: computation, algebra and proof, then plane and space geometry, complex numbers, functions and sequences, probability, conics, each notion motivated by a question the previous one couldn't answer. By the end, the reader has traced the chain ℕ ⊂ ℤ ⊂ ℚ ⊂ ℝ ⊂ ℂ and has the language needed for the analysis in the next volume.
