Imagine studying geometry without shapes, statistics without data, number theory without whole numbers, and algebra without variables. That's like trying to swim without water or breathe without air! These absurdly contradictory textbooks perfectly capture the existential crisis of every math grad student. Jean-Paul Penot is either a sadistic genius or trolling the entire academic community. Next edition: "Calculus Without Change" and "Topology Without Spaces." Good luck defending your thesis with these bad boys!

Linear algebra without matrices is like trying to swim without water. The mathematical equivalent of ordering a cheeseburger, hold the cheese. Somewhere, a mathematician is having a nervous breakdown looking at this book. Next up in the series: "Calculus Without Derivatives" and "Geometry Without Shapes." Graduate-level masochism at its finest.
