Penrose's original physical half of book is starting in fact with "magical" Lagrange formalism(-s). Previous chapters are devoted mainly to geometry and complex numbers. They can be omitted greatly in first reading IF you are interested in modern physics and would like to make some contribution to it (at least in Elon Musk's sense. Well, great Leibniz was also Elon Musk of his time). These chapters are must read for students of theoretical physics, as they help to understand most sophisticated techniques, such as Feynman's Path Integrals. They also present modern style of writing about physics/math/sciences, which is a good step forward, comparing with e.g. Feynman's books.
