I'm looking for an introductory calculus book. I am thinking about purchasing serge Lang's: A First course in Calculus.
Would this be a good self study book? Or would you suggest others. I am looking for a book with a good balance between proofs and examples. I want the exercises though to concentrate on applied math, so no proving in the exercises.
BTW. I looked through the table of context of serge's book and I could not find anything about Newton's method or le hopital rules, indeterminate forms etc. ( I don't know what they are but i just noticed that other textbooks seemed to contain these concepts) this brings questions about the comprehensiveness of the text.
Thus, which would you recommend:
A First course in Calculus Serge Lang
Calculus: A New Horizon by Howard Anton
Calculus and Analytic Geometry by George B. Thomas, Ross L. Finney
thanks
