Stewart is the best book of calculus i know

I'm a math major and I wouldn't touch apostol or spivak, they're for highly autistic people that can do 200 hard problems a day

Ya but I don't want to have to be infront of the computer screen all day.

I like being able to take my books with me.

Plus I like to leave my computer at home.

Stewart is the standard, but I hated that book with a passion. Get Spivak, Apostol, or Courant. You can't go wrong.
