Guide to Learning Newtonian Mechanics

AI Thread Summary
For those looking to learn Newtonian mechanics and the theory of physics, "University Physics" by Young & Freedman is highly recommended for its comprehensive coverage, ranging from linear algebra to modern physics. While the Feynman Lectures on Physics provide valuable insights, some users seek additional detail and problem-solving opportunities. It is suggested to explore older forum threads and Amazon for more specialized texts that delve deeper into specific areas of physics.

What books would you recommend as good books for learning theory of physics. My focus is on Newtonian mechanics. Any other books with good problems to solve will also be nice.
As of now I have the feynmann lectures on physics in PDF format which I printed. Very nice although I'd like a little more detail.

Well? Nobody?
 
there are so many threads about this topic. search old posts and on amazon.
 
Since you asked a general question ("theory of physics"), I'm going to give you a general answer:
University Physics, by Young & Freedman.
Covers about everything from linear algebra principles to modern physics and is very thorough on a basic level (if you want to go more in-depth you'll definitely need to buy a more specialized book though).
 

Thread 'Book recommendation after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics'

TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first...
