Hey,I have not started calculus yet but am SO keen to do so.
I'd love for your suggestions on a book to start with.
I love books which have a lot of theory and I would love if it explains exactly why and how they were discovered.
This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science
related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should
explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments
should further the discussion of math and science.
When posting on Brilliant:
Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Spivak is a great book , but its not for those who are beginners . I have spivak too as ebook in computer .Apostol calculus is Harder than even IIT books . Problems in APostol calculus are extra ordinary hard and i suggest you to read other books first..

i think i know a russian book(in english) for basic calculus and its applications .
download it from http://en.books4study.org/ebook2175.html
To be honest I know very little about calculus textbooks, but this link has a pretty good list of math books, including Spivak, which I personally learned from. http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~abhishek/chicmath.htm
According to your post, you are a 10th grader, right? You will learn calculus, limits and derivatives in 11th...but you can get a head start with some books....for the 11th grade portions RD Sharma books are very good!

calculus by dc pandey???omg..it should be sk goyal.but un swamy jk murti calculus is also vry good..it belongs to wiley maestro series.
Go to coursera look up calculus one and go to the Ohio state university course, then enrolled and print the free textbook . It's not complete it will take a couple weeks I think. Sorry :(
Start with clssics , Thomas and finney Calculus ( google it , you can find it for free) then go to Thomas calculus . :) It will be exciting read..
I am also in 10th , and my exams will over on 11th . Since i had no problem in reading and solving this books .

Check out Spivak's Calculus for a more rigorous approach. You can find it on Library Genesis.
