I came across many recommendations for both of these books, but I'm not sure which one should I use to study calculus...

I know most of the methods used in calculus and I use them frequently, but I'm shooting for mathematical physics and I was wondering which of these books would be better for someone aiming for something which is both mathematically rigorous and written in a good style for a physicist.

Also, if there is some other book that fits the description, I would appreciate the recommendation! :)

Is your "or" exclusive? Why not use both! – MBN Jan 29 at 11:39
My "or" is definitely inclusive if both books are excellent! – Schlomo Steinbergerstein Jan 29 at 11:51

This is a confusing question, since both authors have written multiple well-known books, including a physics book by Spivak. – Mark Eichenlaub Jan 29 at 15:52
I'm sorry for not being more specific, I thought it would be obvious since both of them wrote a book simply titled "Calculus" :) – Schlomo Steinbergerstein Jan 29 at 19:42
