Poor Rui, those columns of numbers shocked her.

Hmmm... Available on Amazon, there's also ones for calculus, SQL databases, and even electricity. The good thing about them is that it makes very difficult subjects more palatable.

Similarly, a few years ago in my country there was a book publisher who, apart from printing the very popular periodical Culture Crash Comics, had also printed some schoolbooks with illustrations drawn in the manga style.
