Is there a book on Calculus for beginners that doesn't have those really long explanations with 'essays'? I've looked through Tomas' Calculus, Calculus by Stewart, Ron Lars etc. but they are almost identical. I learn best when there are few words and more mathematical language and proofs and relatively challenging problems in the end.

If such a thing exists please help me and mention it in your reply. Thank you!!

I'm just saying...you may not want to skip the essays, as they can be useful to those who wish to learn a thing well.

Saxon is one of my favorite authors because of his clarity, but some dislike his style, as it can be boring or dull.

But I do agree that said essays can be tedious if one has a grasp already.

Calculus: the language of change, by Keith D. Stroyan is good basic textbook. The illustrations are outstanding and the verbiage is kept to a minimum.
