No, you shouldn't. Seriously. It would be inappropriate. You should ask your question to a professor you know at your university.

Perhaps you could find an online forum where you can ask questions about calculus, and there would be people willing to answer them. :smile:

But where on Earth would one find something like that?

It's the Intertubes! Just Google "Michael Spivak Forum".
 
My first hit is the TeX code that he created or some sort, doesn't appear to apply to the calculus book.

I suggest sending him an email. The worst that can happen is he won't reply. Do you have his email?
 
They produce solution manuals that they want you to buy.

If you believe that only Michael Spivak can answer your question related to calculus then you are wrong .
