List of Undergrad Physics texts.

In summary, the recommended texts for studying Physics on your own, in addition to "Fundamental of Physics" by Halliday, Resnick and Walker, are John Taylor's "Classical Mechanics", David Griffith's books on QM and E&M, "Liboff's QM book", and Reif's "Statistical Mechanics". These resources are suggested for a 4-year undergraduate degree in Physics, with a particular focus on Space Physics.

Other than "Fundamental of Physics" by Halliday, Resnick and Walker, I'd like to know a few more good texts used in 4-year undergrad degree? I'm doing EE right now and I'd like to study Phsyics on my own.

thanks.

John Taylor (Mr Wizard)'s Classical Mechanics.
David Griffith's QM & E&M books are good.
Liboff's QM book.
Reif for Statistical Mechanics

Gonna need these for sure. I have them and it worked out great for me. But this is Space Physics though, not sure an EE is going to enjoy them much but its worth a look. :approve:
