>New Calculus
The following is an excerpt from Peter J. Olver's alternative calculus lecture notes (https://www-users.cse.umn.edu/~olver/ln_/cc.pdf):
>"I started thinking about the topological definition of continuity, [12]. In brief, a function is said to be continuous if and only if the inverse image of any open set is open. This sounds very simple — and certainly simpler than the limit-based definition used in calculus. And I started wondering why not try to develop basic calculus using this as the starting point, and, possibly, eliminating all references to limits, epsilons, and deltas while still retaining rigor. And, after some thought, I realized it could be done. Continuity is basic, and limits, including limits of sequences, and derivatives follow from it in a reasonably straightforward manner, while bypassing epsilons and deltas entirely! You will see the results of this line of reasoning below.
>Not only can the development be made completely rigorous, I believe it is more elementary and eminently more understandable by the beginning mathematics student, who will be better able to appreciate the rigor behind the calculational tools. Moreover, this approach introduces them to the basics of point set topology at an early stage in their mathematical career, rather than having to start from scratch in a later course in the subject or in preparation to study real analysis".
I sure hope the "new calculus" of the distant future, "Neo-Stewart", will be something along this lines, maybe together with some non-standard analysis (a là R. F. Hoskins, i. e., https://archive.org/details/standardnonstand0000hosk) or more filters instead of limits. There's also honors calculus textbooks from the past like Thurston's which argue that it is more elegant and at the same time easier and more illuminating to think in terms of [math]\epsilon[/math]-neighborhoods instead of the traditional but dry full [math]\epsilon{-\delta}[/math] statements:

I'd like to preface this post by apologising in advanced for asking a question that has probably been asked a thousand times already, but I don't know where else to ask. I don't use r*ddit, or d*scord, and none of my friends are into mathematics.

My situation:
Intermediate Algebra (Blitzer) - done all odds, and all end of chapter tests
College Algebra (Blitzer) - done all odds, and all end of chapter tests
Precalculus (Blitzer) - done all odds for trig only
Book of Proof (Hammack) - 1/3rd through, doing all odds
How to prove it (Hammack) - 1/5th through, doing all questions (found solutions manual online)

My goal:
Precalculus (done) -> Proofs (work in progress) & Calc (I am here!) -> Analysis -> Linear Algebra -> Abstract Algebra -> Number Theory

I need a calculus book that fits these criteria:
- Good for self-teaching, so must have many examples, questions, and answers to at least all the odds, or a solutions manual.
- Some rigour, but not too much as I'm not fully confident with proofs. I do have a little bit of experience with proof by induction.
- No physics, no engineering. I don't care about applied mathematics.

Thank you.

I’m pregnant and get migraines weekly and headaches almost daily. Are there any vitamins that I can take that would be helpful? I take a daily prenatal and 500 milligrams of magnesium right now. I drink green tea daily as well because for a little while the caffeine helped but it hasn’t done much lately. I’m really trying to avoid Tylenol if possible

Not really. Undergrad math is very elegant. At the end of undergrad, you'd be doing what? Stuff that has largely been done in early 20th century. But current math is just extremely ugly, and disorganised. You would simply have to take results from subjects you know nothing about at face values. What you'd be doing would seem to have absolutely no correlation with real life. You'd be reading 10 page long proofs on results that you have no idea why anyone would care about. I mean even stuff like functional analysis, differential geometry and whatever people learn at the late undergrad level is still fairly motivated and organised, but bleeding edge math is just absurdly soul crushing. That is, unless you are number theory autist.

Wrong, it is correct.
Human eye or brain responds more to green than red.
Yellow is a hue that is a mix of green and red.
So if you send yellow light with same measured power as you send green, the green should be brighter for humans than yellow.

Idk man...my life's research has been the polar opposite direction, namely starving one's self, and gene activation via Cognitive BioElectricity, not Chemical ingestion. I more so see food as merely inundating the body with Molecular toxins to have to process and filter out of the body.

Yeah kinda, its just braindamage from vaccine induced mercury poisoning.
A regular vaccine works this way
>take dead virus cells and squirt them into body, white bloodcells dont give a shit about these new arrivals because theyre not doing anything, add mercury or other poison to the shot so the body will see an adverse reaction and fight it, thinking the dead newly arrived cells are to blame. He will now remember their mugs and kill them if he sees them.
>Vaccine works as intended

But what about the mercury or other poison that caused the jumpstart? It should leave your body in theory but it doesnt, it is a heavy metal, think about gold panning, the heavy gold will acvumulate at the bottom and not be washed out with the oth silt. This happens in your body now with stuff that can cross the blood brain barrier.

Tl:dr
Autists have mercury poisoning in their brain, it can be avoided by avoiding vaxx and not eating stuff prohibited in the old testament, crustaceans n shit

The mirror knows where the egg is at all times. It knows this because it knows where the egg isn't.
By subtracting where the egg is from where the egg isn't, or where the egg isn't from where the egg is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation.
The projection subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective ray castings to show the egg from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and showing a position it wasn't, it now is.
