<p>it’s quite difficult to self-study calculus, since most math textbooks are notoriously bad at explaining things. They have a tendency of explaining things halfway and then trying to coax you into learning the rest by yourself or whatever. i.e. they expect you to have a teacher to help you out with the coaxing part, since a lot of the time it’s unrealistic that anyone who doesn’t already know the information will possibly be able to glean it from the book’s scant hints.</p>
<p>But if anyone has self-studied Calculus AB-C themselves (and doesn’t have superbly unusual maths skills) and has found a suitable text book that bucks this trend, please describe!</p>
