spivak - calculus

Why do people recommend Spivak for the person that has never seen calculus?

They are very good books.
Accept your retardation.

None because I wasn't autistic enough to trust the advice of /sci/ on education.

What's wrong with it? Give some examples.

Fuck you, OP.

>>9719982
because it's not extremely difficult for a person who has never seen calculus, if you have the right preparation
Don't go into the book if all the knowledge you have is high school algebra and trig

cause people recommend books here to seem smart not to actually guide other people in a learning process.

but all of these are good. I'd say Lang is the weakest out of them though, in terms of quality of coverage for the given subject.

>>9719982
this >>9720439. Though Spivak IS completely managable if you haven't seen calc yet but HAVE seen rigorous maths and hve experience with proofs, and are prepared to supplement the book with auxillary sources.

>>9720450
Calling it a loss is strictly subjective, and additionally I turn many of my books around to a profit, faggot. Stop buying high

Does anyone have a recommendation for a book on the theory of Distributions? Looking to beef up my PDEs rigor.

i agree with this. I print the papers I have to read for research as well.

rudin is used by many professors as reference and it works fine.
