I have finally discovered my niche content: math texts that are irreverent and also defiantly uncomplicated.

Read "a mathematicians lament", by Paul Lockhart. It was originally a short essay (25 pages you can find free online), but expanded into a book that I haven't read yet.

In a similar vein is Shape, by Jordan Ellenberg.

I read a short paper called "Lockheart's Lament", but I didn't realize he had expanded on it. I might have cried about that one. Thanks for the reccomendations!

Thank you for this beautiful example of using "defiantly" correctly!

He defiantly used it properly, definitely.

What's this about the ears on an elephant?

A little confused, but they've got the spirit.
