It covers 1 2 and 3. I was using Kline's on Dover Books but switched to Stewart because it covers Vector Calculus.

Pearson is the most Jewish company in the fucking educational system.

>pay $350 for a text book
>pay another $50 for the code to unlock the online only homework that you need that specific edition of the book for.

You're literally just describing the free market. Companies exist to generate returns to shareholders.

But the problem here is that students don't have a say in the matter. They either pay up or can't do the assigned homework

Its easy book for ameridumbs. If you are real guy that really wants to learn calculus and mathematics, you choose Calculus: A Complete Course by Adams and Essex

https://openstax.org/subjects/math

even if has some globhomo contamination (which you can remove since it's creative commons) it's free

for assigned homework (what the fuck is this? my uni gives a list of exercises which you should do to learn the damn thing, the only thing that counts points are your exams) just search for them online for free

That's neoliberalism, not free market. In a free market, companies exist to do whatever they were created to do.

Steward book is for not-mathematicans and not-physicist. Calculus: a complete course just starts to begin its book, when stewart just ends, barely scratching the surface of 3 dimensional calculus. Stewart's book misses so much important 3D theories.

This guy gets it. In a free market, a prof could say “this part of math hasn’t changed in 100 years, so we’re gonna use some free soviet textbooks from the 50s” instead of “I’m obliged by the university to use this $500 textbook”

Which is to generate returns to shareholders. Not that a "free market" has ever existed, or will ever exist.

What is a good text on vector calculus (i.e. the vector calculus like Spivak) if I want to know everything there is to know about vector calculus, stopping short of functional analysis and topology etc?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_House
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Stewart_(mathematician)#Integral_House
>From 2003 to 2009[3] a house designed by Brigitte Shim and Howard Sutcliffe was constructed for Dr. Stewart in the Rosedale neighbourhood of Toronto at a cost of $32 million. He paid an additional $5.4 million for the existing house and lot which was torn down to make room for his new home.[4] Called Integral House (a reference to its curved walls, and their similarity to the mathematical integral symbol), the house includes a concert hall that seats 150. Stewart has said, "My books and my house are my twin legacies. If I hadn't commissioned the house I'm not sure what I would have spent the money on." Glenn Lowry, director of the Museum of Modern Art, called the house "one of the most important private houses built in North America in a long time."[5]

The book is okay. Kind of weird format.
