Hey there, i'd really like a simple answer if I could =P
I'm considering buying Stewarts "Calculus";
browsing through these forums and amazon, it's amazing how much stick this book gets, although many people have highlighted its good qualities as well so basically;
I have no interest at all in rigour and analysis (pure maths) and am only looking to learn how to compute calculus based problems, is Stewart the right book for this?
Having browsed through some calculus textbooks from College & the library, all of them seem SO analysis based its unreal, one book insisted on teaching you mean-value theorum & epsilon delta proofs before touching partial differentiation, I want to be an EE major, is there any point in me learning any of that stuff?
Thanks again for reading, I realize there has been a million threads already on this, and have been trawling through them for literally hours, but I understand the priorities of EE/physics majors and math majors are not the same, so apologies for another one.
