Ask HN: Good applied calculus / differential equations book?
Does anyone know of a good book which teaches calculus by giving examples from practical application? Something in the spirit of the O'Reilly cookbook series would be amazing...hell, if anyone from O'Reilly reads this, a Calculus Cookbook, or a series of Maths cookbooks would be really, REALLY, cool.

- weaksauce 17y agoI don't know if your recommendations are on target for this guys request. He wants more of a cookbook approach to learning calculus and DE with a focus on actual applications. The second link with the book on analysis seems to be much more depth than breadth. The breadth approach is more in line with a cookbook way to learn.
