Stewart, Calculus, at a mere $285. Or like $5 for the fifth edition. He's very readable.
Strang is a fine lecturer, especially his Linear Algebra videos. But Linear Algebra Done Right is much better than Strang. MIT, Stanford and Berkeley agree on this one thing.

- tnecniv 10y agoI've read significant amounts of both, and I don't think Axler is better than Strang or vice versa. They teach the material with a different emphasis and interpretation.
- conjectures 10y agoHaving read both, my vote is with Axler over Strang. It may be because I read Axler later, but I found it more intuitive and riper for generalisation.
