SUMMARY

The discussion centers around recommended books on kinematics suitable for various skill levels. Participants suggest starting with introductory textbooks such as "Fundamentals of Physics" by Halliday and Resnick or "Physics for Scientists and Engineers" by Tipler. The conversation emphasizes the importance of having a solid foundation in calculus, trigonometry, and algebra to effectively understand kinematics. A specific book link is also provided for further exploration.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of kinematics concepts
  • Familiarity with calculus
  • Knowledge of trigonometry
  • Algebraic skills
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Fundamentals of Physics" by Halliday and Resnick
  • Explore "Physics for Scientists and Engineers" by Tipler

Does anyone know of any good books on kinematics? Preferably not extremely advanced, thanks!

Any textbook on mechanics helps. I don't know, which level you want. You can start with one of the usual introductory textbooks like Haliday, Resnick or Tipler.

How's your calculus? How's your trig? How's your algebra?
