Amazon isn't even trying these days. They seem to no longer care about the shopping experience, especially for media.

That said, you can switch to the Kindle version and request a sample. The kindle samples usually have a ToC.

I would love to see things flipped around: Teach calculus as code, and work in the concepts after. This looks like a conventional approach with code tacked on after. What I see here: concept -> math notation -> code. I'd go: code -> concept -> math notation.

There are nice APL- and J-based math books with this approach. APL's inventor's main goal was improving mathematics instruction.

I started taking 5g for cognition. Never any clear signal for that, but it does seem to help a bit with my (more than occasional) sleep deprivation. Mostly with fighting off headaches.
