>>13122071no. I think it's a terrible idea to jump into rudin without basic calculus under your belt. If you want to do a semi-rigorous approach first, spivak or Apostal are good from what I've heard.
>>13119503you're probably not very good at "doing" calculus –e.g., computing integrals, derivatives, exploiting symmetry in problems, etc.
>>13116321OP, the Kline book is fine. I used it a little bit and moved onto the Rudin books later on. Still, I'd recommend following a lecture course instead. For basic calculus, I think the lecture format + loads of exercises is really the way to go. The MIT OCW classes are very good for this.
If you'd rather do semi-rigor first, then like I said above, go with Apostol or Spivak and prepared to work a bit harder. It really comes down to personal preference.
