Calculus (4/e)

这不是一本让人读得轻松的微积分入门书，却是一本让一部分人读完后不愿再碰其他教材的数学分析经典。它最大的特点，是把微积分从「计算技巧」提升为「严密的数学分析」：不满足于教会你如何求导、积分，而是逼你去理解为什么可以这样求、每一步推理的根据在哪里。因此它更适合愿意训练数学思维、渴望体会真正数学魅力的读者——无论是高中生入门，还是大学里想扎实建立分析基础的学子。书中大量习题与不断更新的推荐阅读，构成了完整的训练体系。当然，它并不适合只求速成或「没太上心」的人：若你只想要一本翻翻就过的工具书，它大概率会让你失望。真正从它中获得回报的，是那些愿意慢下来、把推理过程嚼透的人。

Michael David Spivak (born May 25, 1940) is an American mathematician specializing in differential geometry, an expositor of mathematics, and the founder of Publish-or-Perish Press. Spivak is the author of the five-volume A Comprehensive Introduction to Differential Geometry. In 1964 Spivak received a Ph.D. from Princeton University under the supervision of John Milnor. In 1985 he received the Leroy P. Steele Prize.
