Surely this is merely a meme. I see this shit shilled everywhere and I downloaded it and its not even that good. Printed in the 60s and the only PDF copies online are shit to read, I hate the formatting. I havent learnt anything from it yet bc its a chore to read. Surely there is a better intro to Calculus

Do not try deciphering the pdf. The format errors happen within the first 4 or 5 pages and continue. Use the .djvu version going around. It is actually readable.

I actually really like this book and used it at a library. Real copies are very expensive.
However, Apostol is kind of middle of the road. If you know the direction you're travelling choose Spivak for pure mathematics, or Courant & John as the definitive book on everything a more applied mathematician needs to know about calculus (or physicist).

Seems like a cute book. Could a /lit/ fag with barely any mathematical knowledge get into this or is it rather hermetic?

It's an intro calc book, so you should be fine if you know middle school mathematics

I agree but have no idea what else to suggest. My calc professor swears by Courant, but you could just read Zorich instead.
