I have just started to learn calculus.Can you suggest the best book to grasp the concepts and to teach myself the true calculus.
Well, you really should have explained a bit where you currently stand and which goals you have. For the "gap" between school and college or university, I usually recommend the books on https://openstax.org/subjects which are free. They might contain stuff you already know, but you can skip these parts, and have many exercises for practice. My recommendation would be a different one, if you, say, want to build a personal library or study calculus in deep, which again would depend on your goals: physicists might have different emphases than statisticians. However, for the basic concepts the books on OpenStax are fine and cheap.Alfin Abu said:I have just started to learn calculus.Can you suggest the best book to grasp the concepts and to teach myself the true calculus.
mathwonk said:I may be wrong, but as I read the question, the OP wants a deep grasp of calculus concepts, including theory, for which my best recommendations are still Courant, Spivak, and Apostol.
