On: The Feynman Lectures on Physics: Algebra (1963)

[enriquto]

The Feynman lectures is one of my favourite books ever. Yet, this chapter specifically is the least enjoyable for a mathematician. Somehow I find he's trying to explain very simple concepts using way too many words, which is the opposite style of the rest of the book.

It's deliberate. In his book The Character of Physical Law, Feynman discusses some differences in how physicists and mathematicians approach math.
