       If you are self learning (or just studying something, it doesn't matter), always get a lot of different books.They always explain things in some books that others don't explain, or maybe you'll understand something better in one book than in the other.

       For clarification on the context of this post, I was studying calculus trough one kinda old book. But that book was a little bit hard to understand, plus some things like logarithms were called "log" instead of "ln", so it is super confusing.So when I started the integration chapter I moved to a text book. And the text book was super easy to understand. But the integration chapter there goes on and on and on forever... and there is like, 20 or 30 integration techniques. And then after that, it jumps to differential equations.But I knew that the other book I was reading explained the Taylor series instead of differential equations (because that's on another book I think). So I went back to the other because I wanted to learn that first. But then while reading some of the proofs on the remainder for the Taylor polynomial, there was an integration that I didn't understand.And then I went back to the integration chapter of that book and discovered that not only they simplify by a lot the integration techniques, but also teaches improper integrals (which supposedly is taught in calculus 2 or something?) and also integration by parts which is what I didn't understand because, for whatever reason, the other book didn't have that.So, yeah... always get a lot of books about whatever you're learning.
