Book suggestions:
This book was suggested in a thread some time ago when OP asked how he could get better at Calculus.
Thanks past OP for asking and thanks, Anon for suggesting.
I purchased this book, and it is indeed fantastic. Although, I'm not finished with it and just started it 30 minutes ago.
Really goes into the "why" of things.

If anyone has more book suggestions relating to Mathematics, please post them! I would love to explore more books relating to Calculus.

It was about a month ago, seems like. I have always wondered without questioning why "s" is used for distance.

I haven't had a problem with his voice, it's nowhere near as bad as chills, but even if it does annoy you his intuitive approach into things your calc teacher should have taught you but couldn't should make it worth it, like why a operation that gives you area under the curve is the reverse of the operation that gives you the slope, and shit like that. the linear algebra series is great
