I completely agree about a lot of math books seeming too abstract. I hated math until I took an interest in physics and realized I needed math to understand the ideas being presented. Suddenly it clicked that the math was actually a way to better represent the ideas, not just a trick for getting answers. Seeing how math applies to create and represent knowledge gave me a huge appreciation for it.
