    I'd like to refresh my old caculus skills. Initially my aim would be to be comfortable with first year undergraduate type material with the aim of moving on to stochastic calculus (which I've never studied). However my brain is gone to mush at this stage of my life, so I'd like something which started at the very start. I've tried reading material on the web but the medium doesn't suit me. I think I need a real (hard copy) book so I can sit down with it and a pencil and paper to work through it. Any recommendations? Obviously excercises and solutions would be vital as well as being clear and easy to follow.

    Thomas' Calculus is one. I'm sure others have recommendations.

    It's about €70 in any good bookseller. (Waterstone's, Hodges Figgis, etc)
