Intro Physics Differences in problems between fundamentals of physics and principles

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the differences between "Fundamentals of Physics" and "Principles of Physics," both authored by Halliday, Resnick, and Walker. Key points include the variation in the number and difficulty of questions presented in each textbook, while the theoretical content and derivations are treated similarly across both editions. The importance of specifying authors when discussing textbooks is emphasized, as many books share similar titles, which can lead to confusion. A link to a Quora discussion is provided for additional context on the differences between the two texts.

So here comes the split, do I get a complex analysis book? Or a calculus book? I might be able to Borrow a calculus textbook from my math teacher study that for a bit and...
