Since it mentions CS I feel criticism is fair: I have a CS degree from CMU and this material is simply incomprehensible to me. It's not only written from a mathematical perspective but also aimed at mathematicians, and not computer scientists.
Unfortunately, math textbooks that are both immediately useful and instantly accessible to computer scientists are few and far between. Why doesn't anyone strive to cover that gap? I find that the major point of contention with most math textbooks is their tendency to pile one definition after another without showing me how that definition is useful in practice. I have a limit in how many abstract mathematical structures and theorems I can absorb before my brain simply wipes them out since it deems them to be useless.
For that reason, the best math textbooks for me have been grounded in practicality (and are not really math textbooks). I learned calculus from Spivak, abstract algebra from Antoine Joux and analysis from Sussman.
