But you didn't mention that Brandeis University is where Michael Spivak
teaches! One of the editors for this series of books is also from Brandeis.
With commercial interests like these, it's no surprise that they used this
text.
I'd like to know if anyone can find a college other than Spivak's own
university that uses Spivak's Calculus on Manifolds in the first two years.
