ITT. Name a better Calc book

Riding

stewart isn't terrible, it is just denigrated because sci autists prefer that there were no difference between calculus and analysis courses.

>proficient
You may become good enough at Calculus, certainly not proficient at it, and much less proficient at math.

It's not a bad book. It's not the best one, either. But it's certainly the best for beginners. If you complement it with Schaum's outlines of Calculus, you'll be good.

pls respond

Stopped reading there.

I just cannot trust you for that.

It's really basic but not bad.

Anon.

Apostol's and Spivak's texts are the classics. Would especially recommend Apostol. He goes over a lot more material and has about the same rigor as Spivak, anyway. If you want to really know calculus, those two books are where you want to look. After you get more "mathematical maturity," consider looking into real analysis to understand what calculus is *really* about.

I like Salas/Hille/Etgen because it focuses on the concepts rather than getting hung up on memorizing obscure identities. You'll really appreciate that if you're planning on going into engineering.

Stewart's not terrible in the text sections. The exercises were put together by sadistic fags, though.

That's falls into analysis

>>Analysis

No way, I've seen it used on calc III before.

I said calculus.

Isn't Apostol the non-brainlet calculus book?

Surprised nobody has mentioned Thomas' calculus text, it's a very good calculus text similar to Stewart but the exercises are more well written and the topics are treated a little more thoroughly

>>8416343
Yes. Apostol is the only calculus text you should ever read.

>>8416355
Thomas is garbage.

>>8417939
This. Apostol master race.

>>8418047
I felt bad when I heard he died.

>>8417939
Why is Thomas' text bad?
