redbird: The words "congnitive hazard" with one of those drawings of an object that can't work in three dimensions (cognitive hazard)

redbird: full bookshelves and table in a library (books)

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.
