AI Thread Summary
Self-studying Spivak's Calculus book typically requires several months for those with prior knowledge, such as having completed Calculus 2. The time commitment varies by individual, but mastery may take years if revisiting concepts deeply. It’s advised to pace the study to allow for digestion of the material rather than rushing through it. Some suggest considering alternative texts like Pugh for clearer explanations, as Spivak's book blends calculus and analysis without covering topics like metric spaces or topology. Ultimately, a thoughtful approach to studying is essential for a deeper understanding of calculus.

i would like to gain a deeper understanding of Calculus so I'm planning on self-studying more on the side. i will do majority of my studies during winter break but i'd like to know long it takes a student who has already taken Calculus 2 to finish his book?

i know it's dependent on the person, but I'm committed and would just like to know.

Why not just get a regular analysis book like Pugh? He explains things very well. I don't think Spivak covers metric spaces or topology. Spivak is more like a half calculus/ half analysis book. In my opinion, it is pretty overrated.Here is the book.

If you're going back over it for mastery...possibly years. ;)

It's not something you really want to do for speed...figure first pass over the course of a few months, maybe? Not full time, obviously. You don't want to do it as a block, anyway, you need time to digest & rest.
 

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
