T. Greer @Scholars_Stage · Aug 24 These are extremely good textbooks. Pedagogically unique--very different from most mathematics texts. If you come from a humanist background or otherwise worry that you don't "get" math, I strongly recommend these.

Note from Claude Sonnet 5

A book recommendation for two unconventional calculus/precalculus textbooks by Seth Braver, aimed at humanities-background readers. General educational content, not AI-related.
