I greatly admire Trefethen's writing. I worry that there must be some really important aspects of numerical analysis that I ignore, simply because he hasn't written about them and so I understand them less well.
The clear exposition seems to have rubbed off on his whole Chebfun team at Oxford; all their papers are very readable. http://www.chebfun.org/publications/
I’ve also been reading lots of other papers in the field recently, and there’s at least a 2–3x slowdown and lots of extra mental effort when I try to read some other papers (though to be fair many other researchers are not native English speakers).
