Hi - i am going to go to univerisity soon and have begun to look up courses in Physics. can anyone please recommend a degree-level physics textbook (in either general physics or a specialised area) that I can read over just to get an idea of the course and how it will be?

i don't want a very difficult or complex book, because I have already tried reading one and the first few pages were beyond me!

Thanks

Thread 'List of STEM Masterworks: THE SUMMARY'

This thread only works as a summary from the original source: List of STEM Masterworks in Physics, Mechanics, Electrodynamics...

SUMMARY Permits are granted so you can make comments on the spreadsheet but I'll initially be the only one capable of edition. This is to avoid the possibility of someone deleting everything either by mistake...

Thread 'Hassani's books on Mathematical Physics/Methods'

By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
