Hello, can any enlightened /sci/ browser help me with some textbooks?
I am a chemistry student which just finished first year. Our calc 2 course was bad - the teacher did not know how to teach, dragged the course, and most of the concepts were not taught and we were simply shown equations to memorize.
I'd like to open up a textbook and learn through the concepts, since I learn much better from text than video - but can you recommend me one? there are so many, and I don't know which is 'good'.
im looking for one which will teach me the concepts well, and give me intuitive understanding of calc 2. I don't care much about the proofs - I'll work through them to show myself that what is said is right, but after I see them a few times I discard them and just use the concept - im a chemist, not a mathematician. That said, I am willing to tackle high level concepts or confusing proofs and ideas, so don't be afraid to throw dense books at me - if you think they are good.
