And, over the last twenty years, string theory has sucked most of the life out of the subject, attracting top minds as a flame attracts moths, or like the broken advanced alien artifact that it probably is. —Joshua W. Burton
I just inadvertently downloaded a calculus textbook.
Downloading a calculus textbook isn't inherently weird, but I suspect most people who do so, do so on purpose. I followed a link in an email message to "my new favorite calculus textbook," expecting to find a review, or a chance to buy the book. What I found was Marsden and Weinstein's Calculus Without Limits. I haven't read far enough to know whether it's any good, though the authors do seem capable of putting together paragraphs of English prose.
