However, the description on the page of the questioner suggest to me that he is essentially studying this material completely on his own. He might thus be in a very different situation than from the one in which you were when learning this material. Also, different people are different. If one is 'alone' sources giving motivation and intuition can be crucial; if one has other ways to pick up this, often almost unwittingly, (via talks, seing how people in the know talk/think about/work with the material), then not. | |

I have nothing bad to say about Vaughan's book, but if the OP finds it difficult then I think he is absolutely right to look for a gentler reference. | |
