Despite his best efforts to encourage and lead me, Penrose left me in the dust there for a little while. But he roused my interest and my persistence with his explication of Euclid's fifth postulate, using one of Escher's woodcuts and hyperbolic geometry.

I feel that Penrose is pawing at my mind like a cat's plaything.

I am reminded that a fundamental reason why some people struggle with math is because of the lack of possession of the basic properties and rules of mathematics. Those who are used to these governing rules (i.e. math teachers, mathematics, physicists, et al.) often bewilder the former types because so many of these rules are used to make giant leaps in calculation and discovery.

The first chapter is devoted to making it supremely clear that, without a solid understanding of certain mathematical principles there will be no real appreciation of the laws underpinning the physical universe. And it seems the next 15 chapters are dedicated to explicating these very principles. Bring it!
