So I guess you haven't read very far yet? The first chapter is great, but the demand for mathematical fluency goes up fast from there.
Working my way through chapter three currently. I have a strong background in mathematics relative to the average physics student. In any case, so far the exact derivations were not important and the substance is repeated in prose, as should be standard in any good mathematics book.
