I'm a high school student, and I want to learn as much as I can about physics before getting to college. It would be great if I could cover everything that the average physics undergrad student learns before going to a university. So far, I've read:
Fundamentals of Physics - Halliday/Resnick/Walker
Physics for Scientists of Engineers - Tipler/Mosca
Calculus - Anton
Linear Algebra - Bronson
And I'm reading:
Introduction to Quantum Mechanics - Griffiths
Elementary Differential Equations - Boyce/DiPrima
I have the following, but I haven't started them:
Classical Dynamics of Particles and Systems - Marion/Thornton
Introduction to Electrodynamics - Griffiths
Introduction to Elementary Particles - Griffiths
Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell - Zee
A First Course in String Theory - Zettigli
Do you guys have any suggestions on textbooks to use for the following:
Classical Mechanics
Classical Electrodynamics
Statistical Physics
Quantum Field Theory
Elementary Particles
String Theory
Also, what math should I know before tackling each of these?
Thanks!
