why does the Sass section seem like he is talking to people who have been writing css for years instead of a month just on this site? He doesn't explain what the ...equation is he is typing. For example: this is a variable, this is a function, you need () for this purpose. He just types and says this does this without showing the browser which would help a lot. IDK how to read the "matrix" yet.

Sass can indeed be a lot to take in. Treehouse does market Sass Basics as an intermediate level course which generally assumes a base level of knowledge.
One thing that I found, and still find, incredibly helpful when "playing around" with Sass is using SassMeister.Com. It automagically converts Sass into CSS in the browser and then allows you to see the HTML and preview all in one step. I find it very useful to do functions, equations, etc. as I can immediately see what is happening. There are automated ways to do that in a local environment as well, but I still like SassMeister.
Just my two cents...
Happy coding,
Ken
