/sci/ - Science & Math

I dunno guys, this book is a bit daunting. I understand what he's saying and how he writes, but I can't do the proof exercises for shit. I've asked around and apparently this is because I need to know the structure of proofs first, with people recommending me some proof materials and books.

For context, I am in 2nd year Engineering.
The thing is, the way he writes makes the problems seem so trivial and obviously true when he writes them, but when I am asked to prove some statement it's like my brain just shuts down.

I'm not required to use or write proofs in my course, I'm just doing it out of interest.

What do we think of it? I bought it partly as an interest, and partly to help me with engineering mathematics. Waiting on Amazon to deliver it.

Is this a good book to use to get the hang of differentiation techniques and integration? Accidentally posted this to /g/.
