Limits and continuity; least upper bounds, intermediate and extreme value theorems. Derivatives, mean value and inverse function theorems. Integrals; fundamental theorem; elementary transcendental functions. Techniques of integration. Taylor's theorem; sequences and series; uniform convergence and power series.

This course is using Spivak's calculus, but I'm also looking for another proof based book accompany with Spivak, thx

The Theory of The Calculus is called Mathematical Analysis ...Elementary Analysis for the R to R functions....so any of the very many books on Analysis should serve your purpose.

You might try the standards:

  1. Apostol - Calculus Vol I
  2. Hardy - A Course of Pure Mathematics
  3. Piskunov - Differential and Integral Calculus

You might also try Rosenlicht's "Introduction to Analysis". It's a cheap, awesome Dover book that presents basic analysis at a good level. Not exactly parallel to Spivak, but you might find the presentation enlightening paired with Spivak.
