Should I read Spivak's Calculus as an undergrad in theoretical physics?

[QUOTE="Mondayman, post: 6587257, member: 581575"] My thoughts are, being able to prove a+b is commutative doesn't necessarily help with learning physics. But the more comfortable you are with mathematics, the better off you will be in the long run, particularly if you plan to do theoretical physics. But at the end of the day, I think Spivak is slightly overkill for calculus for physics. Perhaps it's my inexperience showing, but nothing I learned during my stint at uni would have been easier had I worked through a rigorous calculus textbook. [/QUOTE]
