maybe it'll be better to explain the idea of PID and how it works in general and some examples of it explained it detail, and only then to tell about the math behind it.

I agree. Most high school students who are learning labview don't know what dy/dx means, so I don't see why one would start a chapter with it. Maybe have a chapter explaining the math, and another with code? I don't know, just a suggestion. Really threw me off once I got to that chapter. It was all step by step based, then bam here's an equation and here is how it is used. I don't have a solution, but it needs to be addressed.
Other than that, the book is perfect. It made me laugh out loud reading it at times while in class today on my laptop. I got strange looks, but hey, I was learning. (Isn't that what is important?) Thank you for putting in so much time and effort. I consider this a holy grail for FRC. Great job. Makes me want to do one on computer vision, but there are just so many ways to do it.....
