I got this book for cheap. Is it a bad idea to use it for self

And not sure if this makes any difference, but I am studying statistics

Is there seriously a non-metric version of this textbook? If so, for what fucking purpose?

Alright OP, listen up.

I am one of the persons that picked this up and went subject from subject, chapter to chapter, till I (almost) finished the entire book. Well not almost I still missed the entire multi variable sections.

Heres my advice:

This book will teach you what calculus is about, it has plenty of exercises. But perhaps by the end you will be so fed up and tired of it that you will just drop it (like I did).

If anything I would recommend you to pick some other book or use this as some supplementary one. Going through Stewart can feel rewarding at times or very very boring. So you might as well work your way through the popular books posted on the wikia (apostol, etc)

However if you just want to know the methods used in calculus and how they are applied Stewart is more than enough.

You will learn all the formulas, methods, cases, whatever.

I'm a burger myself; I just don't see the point in it. Other than normies and the field of civil engineering, US units are functionally dead

because calculus in metric is different
