/sci/ what are great books for calculus 1? James Stewart sucks cock

pic unrelated

>> No.8399550

There's nothing wrong with Stewart you teenage brainlet. it's a solid introductory book for learning the methods of calculus.

If it's too easy, there are plenty of more difficult challenge problems online and in the book to work through. Either that or just try to move on to analysis, but considering how stupid and helpless this thread is, you're probably not ready for that.

Stewart teaches rote memorizing and not understanding. The author made millions paying off colleges to prescribe it so naive students would pay 100s of dollars buying the very thing making them stupid. Brainlet.

Apostol
Spivak
Courant and John
You can read one of them and do exercises from Stewart anyway.

Elementary Calculus by authors is the best calculus book and even goes up to calc 3 so you only need this one book and it's cheap.

You must have the shittiest taste in the world if you think James Stewart's Calculus is garbage. It is easily one of the best books out there.
