HELP Book recommendations for introductory physics

AI Thread Summary
For those starting college physics without prior knowledge, several recommended resources can aid in self-learning. A highly regarded free ebook is "Motion Mountain," which offers comprehensive physics concepts. "Understanding Physics" by Isaac Asimov is also suggested, as it presents physics in an accessible manner without requiring advanced math skills. Additionally, "Physics for Scientists and Engineers" by Tipler is recommended for its depth and clarity. For more ebook options, the website physics.nmt.edu provides a variety of physics texts suitable for beginners.

I really would appreciate your help. I will be starting college this September and physics will be one of my course. I know very little about physics because i didn't do it in high school (i attended an international high school). Do you know of any ebook that will be perfect for me to self learn physics, please tell me. Thanks in advance
 
Physics news on Phys.org

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
