Great resources for university calculus/physics?

Question

Hello HN Soon me and a lot of students will be starting collage/university, so I figured this would be a good time for this question. Personally my high school teachers were not really good, and I want to fully understand the math and physics courses I will be taking for my engineering degree.So what are you recommendations, what books or resources helped you? I'm sure this will be a great help to current undergraduate students and to anyone wanting to get into engineering.Thanks :DRelated Threads: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17075261](Ask HN: How do I learn math/physics in my thirties?)

Jugurtha · Accepted Answer

- "Differential and Integral Calculus", Piskunov.
- "A Course of Higher Mathematics", Smirnov.
- "Problems in Mathematical Analysis", Demidovich.
- "Course of Theoretical Physics", Landau.
- "Problems in General Physics", Irodov.
You'll note that there are "course" books and "problem" books in there.
All the best,

Reading material ahead of taking a course is a strategy I used to help shorten the learning curve;
1. So you want to learn physics ( https://www.susanrigetti.com/physics ) The books recommended all look expensive, so not for dabbling.
2. A quick search turned up a bunch of free resources that look helpful:
LibreTexts ( https://libretexts.org )
OpenStax ( https://openstax.org/subjects ) Rice University
InfoBooks ( https://www.infobooks.org/free-pdf-books/physics/ ) 50+ Physics Books
College Phsyics ( https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/textbooks/61 ) --
University Physics Volume 1 ( https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/textbooks/378 )-- both part of
Open Textbook Library/ University of Minnesota’ ( https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/ )
Free Physics Textbooks at Open Culture ( https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/ )
Introductory Physics I Elementary Mechanics ( https://webhome.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/Class/intro_physics_1/intr... ) Duke
Free Math Texts ( http://www.freemathtexts.org )
Mathematics for Physics ( https://goldbart.gatech.edu/PostScript/MS_PG_book/bookmaster... )
3. Even engineers need to communicate well.
Editor's Manual ( https://editorsmanual.com ), including https://editorsmanual.com/articles/i-or-me/ I or me.
