I don't believe it needs to be that way. Why was one of my personal heroes, George Green able to do what he did? Through Thomson, Maxwell, and others, the general mathematical theory of potential developed by an obscure, self-taught miller's son would lead to the mathematical theories of electricity underlying twentieth-century industry. http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Green.html http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Green.ht... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Green http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Green I think I have learned myself a decent amount of calculus.I suggest anyone interested in self learning calculus to to try Infinitesimal Analysis first as its more intuitive. Epsilon delta becomes easier after. And for differential calculus, consider implementing a Higher Order Multivariate Automatic Differentiator able to deal with Jacobians and Hessians efficiently. That hands on learning helps a lot.
