Why is C&M written in conversational English rather than in the usual style of standard math text books?
C&M is written the way actual American people talk to each other and not in the stilted prose associated with most conventional math texts. Many C&M students have reported that after their C&M experience, they were able to pick up and read conventional math books – mainly because of the conceptual grounding they obtained in C&M. Special thanks to C&M at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign for their assistance in answering these questions.
