A student says that they really want to learn Calculus. They know
that Calculus is very powerful and can be used to solve many problems.
I suggest that they learn Arithmetic first. They respond,
"Arithmetic! Have you learned Arithmetic? Arithmetic is old. Should
I learn Arithmetic? For example, will Arithmetic talk about
Calculus?"
I didn't learn Emacs from the book Learning GNU Emacs but I have it
and it is a good introduction. It is easier to learn the fundamentals
and then build upon them with more advanced concepts afterward.
