all the zillionaire robber barrons have their own space rockets they brag about constantly.
none of them own submarines - or if they do own then they don't talk about it.
what magical science secrets are the elites hiding from us under the ocean?
they constantly try to raw attention to space in order to prevent people from focusing on the mysteries beneath the waves, they have to be hiding something good.

Calculus Textbook

No.13444702 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Recommend me a calculus textbook that is similar to Apostol but isn't Apostol.
>inb4 just read Apostol
I generally like Apostol but I have some beef with some of the stuff he does.
Anyway, I would like a book that fits the following criteria:
1. It should cover both one-variable calculus and multi-variable calculus, plus the necessary linear algebra (like Apostol does in his two volumes).
2. It should avoid invoking elementary geometry in its proofs. For example, there are some calculus books that invoke the law of cosines to prove the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, while other books (like Apostol) do not rely on synthetic geometry and prove the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality algebraically and then use it to DEFINE the cosine of the angle between two vectors (instead of assuming that the angle exists an using the law of cosines to prove the inequality).
3. It should prove all the major theorems instead of asking me to accept them on faith. Some books, like Lang, ask you to accept Green's theorem or some other important theorem on faith with the excuse that "you will learn the proof later in an analysis course".

Ok, he has to be wrong, there is no way a theory as widely accepted as Darwinian Evolution is so majorly flawed.

Is Lang's Basic Mathematics enough as a foundation for more advanced math?

No.13445173 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Or should also/instead go for something more extensive, such as Stewart's Precalculus? I've looked through Lang's book and I feel like a lot of important material is missing.

mRNA vaccines are the best way to avoid ADE (antibody dependant enhancement) and to ensure that original antigenic sin won't be such an issue. Since the antibodies produced from the mRNA vaccines are highly neutralizing the risk of ADE is extremely small. Since the S-protein is highly conserved the risk of modifications of this protein are small and therefore original antigenic sin risk is also small. Having produced antibodies from the "live" virus itself you are at risk that your antibodies will not be nearly as effective with other strains since your antibody targets could be for other proteins found on the capsid that are not highly conserved structures and any other serotypes are more likely to not be neutralized by them, thereby leading to ADE (even though ADE in sars-cov-2 was not found to be a problem in rhesus monkeys and humans). This is the reason that the second infection of Dengue can be so deadly since a different serotype of Dengue is able to use antibodies to circumvent the immune system leading to hemorrhagic fever (also why an effective vaccine for dengue has not been made). Now I see the possibility that the immune system forgets the current antibodies to actually be a blessing. This would hopefully mean that the risk of Original antigenic sin would be circumvented and that as new strains are found new vaccines specific to that serotype are effective at generating highly neutralizing antibodies.
