If you want to learn math, buy this book. However affordability is an issue (price is around ₹5000)

There are two major ways this is inferior to the modern method or teaching that follows Stewart's book:1. It does show real life applications of maths, but those examples come after the chapter, in a seperate section. That is the wrong way to teach. By the time the student reaches the application section, they will already have lost interest. The right way is to teach through practical applications, like Stewart does.2. This book presents the formulae first, shows the derivations later. Needless to say, all students will skip the derivations. This is the wrong way to teach. You must let the student discover the formulae through the derivations, like Stewart does.3. Where is inverse variation?This book can be used alongside Stewart, but not as a primary book. It does contain extra use-cases and examples, especially in the financial domain, while Stewart is more focused on physics domain.
