I understand the importance of finding the right resources for learning and studying a subject. When it comes to calculus, it is essential to have a book that provides a balance of theory and practice problems. I have heard good things about Piskunov's calculus book, which is known for its comprehensive coverage of both theory and problems.

In terms of availability, I suggest checking online bookstores or websites that offer e-books. You can also try searching for Piskunov's calculus book on academic databases or online libraries. I am not aware of an English version available online, but it is worth exploring different sources to find the right edition.

Aside from Piskunov's book, there may be other calculus books that fit your criteria. I recommend checking reviews and ratings from other students or professors to get an idea of which books have been successful in teaching both theory and problems.

In the end, the most important thing is to find a book that suits your learning style and helps you understand the subject effectively. I hope you find the right calculus book that meets your needs and helps you excel in your studies.
