I'm currently an A-Level Maths and Physics student looking to get ahead before university maths/ physics. Looking on the internet I see people making a big deal of Spivak's Calculus but on looking thought it I can't see how it could possibly be useful for future maths and physics. To me it seems in a way like learning geometry using euclids elements. Sure it's quite interesting and satisfies extreme skepticism but if you just want to learn about it you can get lost in the details. I feel like I might come out from reading it thinking 'why am I learning all this stuff?!'. And that's what I'd really like to know. What will I get out of reading Spivak's Calculus book? If I work my way through it what advantage would I have over the me in a parallel universe who didn't work through it? Thanks :)
