Lang's _basic mathematics_

  Anyone who recommends Lang as a learning resource should burn in their version of hell.

    Really? I've used it before for others who found it useful. That's the thing about math, lots of options/styles. Just look at Spivak vs Apostol for Calc. Do you have a suggestion for him?

      Lang's Algebra book before revisions contained famously difficult exercises https://mathoverflow.net/a/10899 https://mathoverflow.net/a/10899 but I liked Basic Mathematics even if it's out of print (expensive) and full of errata issues.
