bumping with freshly minted meme list

Aside from Stewart that list actually looks pretty good.
Bentley Johnson
What to substitute it with? I feel there needs to be some kind of motivation to learn higher maths and proofs, before one can get on learning how to do proofs or just abstract algebra
unless you mean the book is shit, but it's a classic and solutions are also readily available online, etc
Thomas Cook
You should no be doing pure maths if you don't like the beauty of maths. Stewart motivation is for engineer pleb.
Dominic Murphy
If you're reading my guide for plebs, you're not particularly well acquainted with math anyways. Plus, try to read any linear algebra book without seeing examples like derivatives and integrals as linear operators, or in inner products, or applications to system of ODEs. Yeah, you can't. So what should that person do, learn all of real analysis up to the point where you start to need linear algebra, just so they can understand the basic examples that aren't just R^n or C^n? Which of course, then they'd have to learn algebra without touching any of the matrix groups...
Carson Perez
No. Stewart is more than enough. Spivak is a meme and it'll take a student more than a year to digest the amount of information, there's no need to make a calculus book this hard. Analysis on the other hand is worthy to go balls deep.
Brody Jenkins
If you can't give a better reason for picking books than being "pleb", I don't think you're mature enough to be giving advice.
Austin Kelly
I'm pretty sure if someone is that autistic then they don't need his list in the first place
Daniel Bennett
What's bad about Stewart?
