Hello everyone, I am new to the site and just wanted to introduce myself first.

I wanted to know if I could maybe get some book suggestions on links in which I could learn more about mathematical Physics (My math knowledge extends only to Calculus of now and I know Abstract Algebra~Boolean). Anything that is contains some form of mathematics and Physics, since I have seemed to get a little, key word, bit bored of the vague conceptual physics.
