>> the author’s wish to present ... mathematics, as intuitively and informally as possible, without compromising logical rigor
The books in the West in general kept getting less rigorous, with time. I don't see Asian or Russian books doing this. The audience getting less receptive to rigor and wishing for more visuals and informal talk. When they get to higher studies and research, would they be able to cope with steep curve of more formalism and rigor?
