Your meaning is not clear and your prose could be pared down.
The prose is remarkable in that it
uses intuitive metaphors to explain
difficult mathematical ideas...
I take it that by calling the prose "remarkable" you are taking a swipe at some, or most, other texts which explain everyday things by using difficult mathematical ideas. If so, you might as well punch them right in the nose and say so:
... to explain difficult mathematical
ideas; most books on mathematical
subjects do just the opposite, and use
difficult mathematical ideas to
explain simple everyday things.
Is that your meaning? Or do you mean that they do not explain things that don't need explaining by not using difficult mathematical ideas to not explain them. I could not follow your explanation of what these other unnamed texts do or don't do.
