Book for the application of Calculus in Physics?

Hi! I'm just a beginner to the world of Physics. I require some good basic textbook which solely explains the applications of calculus in physics. I am acquainted to an extent to the mathematical domain of calculus, i.e. integration, differentiation, limits, differential equations.etc. I need the text to relate these to the concepts of Physics that we study, right from the basic level. It would be great if the book would also have some applications of the calculus of vectors in Physics. Thanks!
NOTE : Please move my thread to an appropriate forum...

Almost any calculus-based physics textbooks make the applications of calculus very obvious. Perhaps you should pick one up and see for yourself.

Yeah pretty much you should look at the physics textbooks themselves. They should have a short talk about some of the basic mathematical techniques and then the rest of the book will be pretty much your sought after applications. For example, Griffiths' electrodynamics text starts out by summarizing the basics of vector calculus and then he jumps into the physics of electrodynamics (which makes vast use of vector calculus).

There is a set of classes and texts known as mathematical methods for physics (I have also seen a similar class for engineering too). However, these may be unsuitable, despite the relevance of their title and content, because these usually are meant for graduate coursework. So the content assumes someone with an advanced knowledge of math and physics but the texts focus on various mathematical techniques that often come up in physics.
