Can anybody guide me to learn physics?

[jijopaul]

I completed my degree in mechanical engineering. But I've got a passion in studying physics. And I'm thinking to study it at home. But i don't know where to start and how to go on.

I' not thinking like 'commercial' physics degree. I just need to understand quantum mechanics, relativity etc.. I need a listing of series of best books or resources that provide a good understanding in this.

Start by reviewing your analytical mechanics: Lagrangians & Hamiltonians. You will need these for QM.
Then review your linear algebra, especially the later parts about diagonalization, change of basis, and eigenvalues/eigenvectors. You will need these for QM.A good place to start with QM is Griffiths' "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics".

For relativity I suggest Tayor & Wheeler's "Spacetime Physics".

How much do you already know? How much do you want to know?
