> 200 pages per 5h

This is not my reading speed, this is what OReilly is suggesting me about how long it takes to finish reading this book. Also available in many blogging platforms, where time to finish is calculated based on number of words.

Time to finish a page of mathematical paper may be tens minutes per line. OReilly is famous of programming books, some of those are not much easier. Examples are not for just reading and there is no way to finish 200 pages book full of examples in 5 hours.
