Physics w/calculus study books?

[ardents]

I'm heading back to school and I never finished the second semester of physics w/ calculus, which was a few years ago. Let's just say I'm taking a lighter course load to make sure I have time to study. Any suggested books with possible sample problems anyone can recommend? I've seen a lot of online resources on this forum which I will be looking at as well, but sometimes nothing beats sitting in a library with a couple of books. Thanks.

There's a intro physics book by Young and Freedman that tends to be the standard for intro University physics. It's just called 'University Physics', that should be enough. It's a massive 'tome' though so I hope you don't mind heavy books.

Whatever book you choose, you can use it with Walter Lewis' videos.

I would highly recommend investing in a comprehensive physics textbook that covers both classical mechanics and electromagnetism, with a focus on using calculus to solve problems. Some popular options include "University Physics" by Young and Freedman, "Physics for Scientists and Engineers" by Serway and Jewett, and "Fundamentals of Physics" by Halliday and Resnick. These textbooks not only provide clear explanations of concepts, but also include plenty of practice problems with varying levels of difficulty to help you master the material.

In addition to a textbook, I would also suggest checking out study guides or review books specifically geared towards physics with calculus. These resources often include sample problems and solutions, as well as tips and tricks for tackling challenging concepts.

Finally, don't underestimate the value of online resources. Many universities have lecture notes, practice problems, and even recorded lectures available online for free. You can also find numerous physics problem-solving websites and forums that offer additional practice problems and explanations.

Ultimately, the key to success in physics with calculus is consistent and dedicated practice. So make sure to set aside time each day to work through problems and seek help when needed. Best of luck in your studies!
