These sorts of books have existed since the dawn of notebooks. While I think them useful for demonstrations, I don’t think there is much pedantic value (beyond a more static medium) in all honesty. Well-worked examples a student can consult while attempting to solve problems on their own is still of paramount importance.

When you say "pedantic value", do you mean "pedagogic value"?

Why can’t we have both? Great examples AND an interactive, reproducible medium?
