In my opinion this book is not very good at explaining things to someone being introduced to Calculus for the first time, but it does have really good exercises to help you master the skills. I use this book for my Calculus course and the exercises are great, but I usually find myself having to go elsewhere for explanations.

Nice to see Thomas Weir getting some recognition at the lair. The authors are from MIT & Navy Post Grad respectively. The 9th Ed. has had a place on my bookshelf since HS. 😊

These book reviews are delightful and nostalgic. I'm having a lot of fun teaching topics that made me fall in love with Math and Physics in high school. Hunting for calculus workbooks and "interesting" problems is also a rush!

[twoblink]

I taught myself calculus over Xmas break while I was in high school; Calculus is much easier than the other maths IMHO because it makes more sense innately. I remember my younger cousin looking at the calculus mathbook and asking "Where are the numbers?" hahaha...

I found this book for free just sitting outside in my college building’s hallway. They were going to recycle all of these books including this one and my professor advised me to get some books and this was one of them. I am about to finish my precalculus summer course which covered both trig and college algebra and I happened to find this book for free. What luck!

[cornucopiahouse]

I love Thomas’ Calculus. I have had it since high school and it has memories I had with my late dad.

This is one I don't recall having heard of before this video. It looks really great: subtle use of color shading, tonnes of problems, plenty of explanations, and rigorous proofs all rolled into one. My hero in this line is Gilbert Strang of MIT, who retired from teaching this year (at 88!) and is 89 today.

Please review Morris Kline’s “Calculus: An Intuitive and Physical Approach”. Dover reprinted it so I assume it’s achieved a sort of classic status with them.

Hi Math Sorcerer,
First of all I really enjoy your videos, specially study math from beginning to end. I am a math student in Germany. Here we start with hardcore proof writing and some abstract algebra even in first term. I am going to choose algebra as my specialization (Here you can choose between optimization, analysis and probability, techno mathematics, statistics and algebra). I am currently taking class in commutative algebra and later in my master I am going to take algebraic geometry and computer algebra. I already had fundamental of mathematics (linear algebra normal forms e.g. Jordan normal forms, analysis in R and in multi dimensional space) topology (general and algebraic top.), measure and integration theory, vector analysis (differential geometry), number theory, ordinary differential equations( we didn’t really solved odes we just study theoretically about existence and uniqueness of solution and stability discussions), abstract algebra (group theory, basic ring theory, field theory, galois theory and sylow t), and some probability theory, symbolic computing, numerical mathematics, and a lot more. So I know a lot of math and we studied all of these pretty hardcore with proofs (almost no computation in exercise sheets). Every term I think wow this topic is gonna be mind blowing e.g. topology or measure theory and pretty high level and abstract but I just end up with more abstract theory and high level math stuff. For example in commutative algebra we introduced tensor products of modules and we defined it via category theory (universal property of tensor products in modules over a ring category). I am now really interested in category theory.
Do you know category theory and can you please recommend me some books about it.
I really would like if you could do a video about category theory.

Thank you.

I want The Math Sorcerer to review "Calculus" by Marsden & Weinstein; it was the text I used.

MS: "This is one of those *really* thick Calculus books. It's got so much content. And it's heavy."
"Let's see, it was published in 1980. Wow! That's such a long time ago. I gotta give it a smell."
"Look at all these great problems!"

even in Hungary we used this book for CS degree, I loved it

[byrnman]

I used Thomas Calculus for my calc 2 and 3 classes ( calc 1 was AP Calc in HS)

[wilhelmgreiner]

Thank you very much for your Encouraging Videos!
Because of your channel I started studying Physics besides Medicine :)

[IronDogger]

Calculus used to absolutely terrify me and I met someone who loved math and shared the profound wisdom of the language of math and that was one of the biggest perspective shifts.
Math is the path to truth.
That book is a bit much for an absolute beginner IMO but definitely a must have for the library and as a resource.

[troybird]

Calculus books require every answer, not just answers to the odds or evens.
A good lesson book provides every single step to each question without a need to figure out make believe steps not found in the lesson or chapter.

[leocomerford]

It’s pronounced “Thomas’s Calculus”: the ‘s’ after the apostrophe is dropped when there is an ‘s’ just before the apostrophe.

[zgennaro]

The best calc textbook is by George Simmons, calc with analytic geometry, 2nd edition.

[walter]

Fifteen seconds in, the problem on the left side of page 363 with the graph is very similar to a free response question on the AP Calc BC test from 2022.

[thanoskarvouniaris]

Excellent book, here at the Technical University Of Crete at the Electrical & Computer Engineering department we use it in our 1st year to learn calc1 and calc2. I personally use it very often, even I am in my 4th year.
