Calculus - an intuitive and physical approach. I did some of these exercises and they were easy. They helped me in calculus. I liked the explanation of secant lines.

How to prove it - I like the reduction of proofs to mechanical symbol pushing. Good exercise difficulty for self study, good notation.

I also liked some parts of the traditional calculus book. I read a lot of it. It’s pretty good considering literally everyone takes the class with the book. I would never use this for self study, but I enjoyed it during class.

Mathematics for physicists books provide a good overview of math topics. Haven’t really done any exercises though.

Whoops, that was the Klein book that reduced orgo to electron pushing. But same idea.
