Can someone recommend a good college Physics/Calc Book?

In summary, some of the top recommended college physics and calculus books include "University Physics" by Young and Freedman, "Calculus" by James Stewart, "Concepts of Modern Physics" by Arthur Beiser, and "Calculus: Early Transcendentals" by Briggs and Cochran. For beginners in these subjects, "Physics for Scientists and Engineers" by Serway and Jewett and "Essential Calculus" by James Stewart are great options. Most of these books come with practice problems and solutions, and are available in both print and digital formats. They can be used for self-study or in a classroom setting, but having a teacher or tutor can greatly enhance the learning experience.

I suggest checking out reviews and ratings from other students and professors to find the best textbook for your needs. Some popular options for college level physics textbooks include "University Physics" by Young and Freedman, "Fundamentals of Physics" by Halliday and Resnick, and "Physics for Scientists and Engineers" by Giancoli. For calculus, "Calculus: Early Transcendentals" by Stewart and "Calculus" by Larson are highly recommended by many students and educators. Ultimately, it is important to find a textbook that aligns with your learning style and covers the necessary topics for your course.
