Fundamentals of physics extended 10th edition Halliday

In summary, before learning this book, it would be beneficial to have a basic understanding of algebra and some knowledge of calculus, specifically differentiation. The Calculus Made Easy by Thompson is a highly recommended book for beginners. It would also be helpful to have a basic understanding of trigonometry, specifically the definitions of sine, cosine, and tangent in terms of a right triangle.

Basic algebra and little bit of calculus. It won't harm much if you don't know integration, just know differentiation.

I don't know I did not use that book but I don't think you can go wrong with any book in learning basic calculus.

You should also know basic trigonometry. At least, you should be comfortable with the definitions of sine, cosine and tangent in terms of a right triangle.
