Also a lot of books these days have wolfram mathematica code and it works surprisingly well even for some more abstract parts of math, To get a good intuition.

The greatest book review of all time, sort of similar approach: https://www.amazon.com/review/R23MC2PCAJYHCB

Put the book down when you get to the example or proof of a theorem, keep all the theorems and examples before it in your head, and see if you can reason it out yourself. Can't promise that your head won't hurt afterwards
