I'm using sivias' Bayesian probability textbook based on the best textbooks recommendation. I'm noticing he spends a lot of time showing logical proofs of the equations, but in this disjointed fashion without bolding or emphasizing the important equations or concepts which forces me to often reread. I haven't taken a lot of advanced math, but have a very high math aptitude. Bolstad might have been a better choice for me, but it doesn't seem impossible so far.
