Problem in Self-Studying Calculus
I mean to say that this man says that Calculus doesn't play a big role in CS. Moreover the professor in this video says that "Mathematics in its continuous form" doesn't have a big role in CS too. That discrete mathematics and similar form of mathematics are much more useful. And that high...- VinciDa

Problem in Self-Studying Calculus
By the way, since it was pointed above, I want to ask why is that Calculus and the continuous form of Mathematics not applicable to Computer Science. I never really understood that.- VinciDa

Problem in Self-Studying Calculus
I am actually working through Thomas right now. Merely using Stewart as a book that I need for Homework. I really don't know why Stewart's Book became popular. It is so clear to me that his prose is incoherent.- VinciDa

Problem in Self-Studying Calculus
So do you recommend Lang first before Jacobs or the other way around? I just want to be sure because I have only the winter break to actually learn Geometry. Also to help, I actually read and nearly completed the Book 1 of Euclid's Elements. So its not that I have absolutely no clue what...- VinciDa

Problem in Self-Studying Calculus
That is very good question. A question that I myself don't know a specific answer. However, I am considering to get my masters in Computer Science specializing in Artificial Intelligence. Its more of an inclination rather than the idea that I am absolutely sure that that is what I will do. The...- VinciDa

PS. I can't actually read Kiselev right this time perhaps at winter break. Time is not very friendly as always.- VinciDa

I actually found a copy of Lang and Murrow at my library. Would you recommend it as a supplement for Kiselev. Thanks btw for answering my questions.- VinciDa

Problem in Self-Studying Calculus
Do you think I need to brush off my geometry with Kiselev first or is it unnecesary for computer science fields in general? I find this problematic since I realyly don't know wht kinds of math my major really need.- VinciDa

Dude! Thanks for that link. This is why i love physics forum. I wish I discovered this site when I was a kid. (Although, I hated mathematics back then anyways) I actually don't know what route I should go to. Whether or not I should delve into analysis on my own or the engineering route of...- VinciDa

Problem in Self-Studying Calculus
I am willing to do anything to learn calculus. I don't think I would like to relearn calculus from Stewart's book again though. To be fair with the author his exercises are good. But I want the coherent explanations.- VinciDa

Problem in Self-Studying Calculus
Hello fellow science enthusiasts! I will start by describing my problem. I am majoring in Computer Science. More importantly, I am taking a course in Single Variable Calculus I. We are using the textbook written by Stewart: Calculus Early Transcendentals. And as I continue read through it...- VinciDa
