This fall I'm going to the university of electrical engineering and I am looking for some good physics and math books concerning the following topics:
Physics
-Classical Mechanics ( level above Calculus 2)
- Electricity and Magnetism ( level above calculus 2)
-Electrical cirtcuits (specially oriented)
Math
-Calculus 3
-Differential equations
Best ones you can think of, like Purcell or Grifiths for EM which do you recommend?
Something you might add?

Have you taken two semesters (three quarters) of freshman physics from a book like Halliday and Resnick?
