Will
"Book of Proof" By Hammack --> "Basic Mathematics" by Lang
be enough preparation for Calculus by Spivak?
Thanks.
It depends on the rigor and depth of your high school calculus course. Spivak's Calculus is known for being a very challenging and rigorous textbook, so if your high school course was not particularly challenging, you may need to do extra preparation.
You should have a strong understanding of algebra, trigonometry, and basic calculus concepts such as limits, derivatives, and integrals. It would also be helpful to review precalculus topics such as functions, graphs, and equations.
This will vary depending on your current level of understanding and the amount of time you have available. However, it is recommended to spend at least several weeks reviewing and practicing basic calculus concepts before starting Spivak's book.
Yes, there are many online resources and practice problems available. You can find review materials and practice problems on websites such as Khan Academy, Paul's Online Math Notes, and MathIsFun.
If you are having trouble understanding the material, it may be helpful to seek out a tutor or join a study group. You can also try breaking down the concepts into smaller, more manageable pieces and practicing with a variety of problems. Don't be afraid to ask for help from your teacher or peers if you are struggling.
