@stiff Thx for the better link!
Looks like a nice book, though the writing isn't outstanding. If someone out there is looking for a free calculus textbook, I highly recommend this one: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/33283 http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/33283 It's old too, but the writing is very entertaining---the author doesn't take the subjects seriously, but keeps joking around about how everyone takes Calc so seriously.
<shamelessplug>Hm... hm... I wrote a modern calculus book. It's not-free, but very affordable + it comes with physics. v4.1 is coming out next week...</shamelessplug>
- marktangotango 12y agoThe book is "Calculus Made Easy" by Silvanus P. Thompson. I had a copy of this some years ago. He skips delta epsilon proofs entirely and uses the infinitismal method to describe derivatives and integration. Makes for a very slim volume.
