Hello everybody!
I was wondering how the two compare?
Thank you everybody :)

Thinker301 said:Thanks verty. What do you think of Advanced Calculus by Folland instead of Apostol 2?
Thinker301 said:Perfect. Spivak and Folland are required books for a one year into to analysis (freshman) sequence, at a university that I am probably going to go to.
How much does having a professor and a class help? (In comparison to self-study)
Thinker301 said:I see what you mean. Although the demotivation isn't to great, and I believe it's mostly because i can't share my excitement with others. But say I were in a computational calculus class, and I was using Spivak on the side. I have no idea what it'd be like.
"Loomis Advanced Calculus" and "Baby Rudin" are both textbooks on advanced calculus. However, "Loomis" is more theoretical and rigorous, while "Baby Rudin" is more focused on applications and problem-solving techniques.
Both textbooks are well-regarded and commonly used for self-study. It ultimately depends on the individual's learning style and preferences. Some may find "Loomis" more challenging but more rewarding, while others may prefer the more practical approach of "Baby Rudin".
"Advanced Calculus" is not typically recommended for beginners as it assumes a strong foundation in basic calculus and mathematical proof techniques. It is better suited for students who have already taken a course in introductory calculus and are looking to deepen their understanding and skills.
"Loomis" is often considered one of the more challenging textbooks on advanced calculus, but it is also highly respected for its thoroughness and rigor. Some may find it more difficult to approach compared to other textbooks, but many also appreciate its unique approach and depth of content.
Yes, there are many online resources and study guides available for both "Baby Rudin" and "Loomis Advanced Calculus". Some popular options include solution manuals, lecture notes, and practice problems with solutions. These can be found through a simple internet search or by asking for recommendations from fellow students or professors.
