first off i am weak at calculus, a complete newbie. I am good at programming but i was planning to dive into automation industry and Internet Of things, so i bought a Art of electronics as it was recommended for any newbie in electronic automation but then i saw the book used calculus for explanation, so i bought George f Simmons to do pre-calculus (sharpen the sword a lil bit ;) ) and now i am done with pre-calculus.
- I need a calculus book that would benefit me given my above background, suggestions?
- I do not want a book like the ones who help score in exams, i want something that would explain to the core why? and how?
- I will learn physics too in the future because i like it.
- An interesting book with lots of real world examples would be nice.
My favorite book for me during high school was AP Calculus by Princeton Review, although Barron's, Kaplan, or any other book that acts as a comprehensive concise textbook was also useful.
I found the textbooks to be overly long and detailed with information that was completely unnecessary. The examples numbered in amounts a little bit too much, and the explanations too long to hold my attention.
