Feynman Lectures - Anything similar for Mathematics?

If I'm not mistaken, Spivak gives some solutions (but not all) at the end of the text.

I see, thanks

out of curiosity does this book cover calc I-III in the US education system? I'm from the UK and we don't have that sort of system afaik.

It only covers calc I-II (and a bit of complex analysis). It doesn't do multivariable stuff.

I would also like to add Courant's Differential and Integral Calculus vol I and II. I received this books as a gift when I was younger and the value I find reading it can easily be shown by how worn the pages have become.

On a more serious note than earlier, I think that Maclane's "Mathematics: Form and Function" sounds like a very good book for your purpose.

I have heard a lot of positive stuff about the Serge Lang books.

This one has some good reviews on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Introductory-M...cm_cr-mr-title

Don't know what level it is on, though. Maybe i'ts more suitable for talented high school students and beginners at the university?

In terms of style, if you want something "like" Feynman's Lectures, I would say Visual Complex Analysis. Not completely rigorous, but I think that can be an advantage at times. If you want more rigor, you can (1) look at another book later or (2) look at another book concurrently, whichever you please. For example, you could read Ahlfors alongside Visual Complex Analysis.
