AI Thread Summary
For those seeking a solid introduction to calculus-based mechanics and electromagnetism (E&M), "Fundamentals of Physics" by Halliday and Resnick is highly recommended. Another strong suggestion is the Halliday-Resnick-Krane-Walker text. For readers with a background in calculus and differential equations, "An Introduction to Mechanics" by Kleppner and Kolenkow is also a valuable resource. These books provide a comprehensive understanding of the subjects, building on prior algebra-based knowledge.

Hey guys, I'm looking for a good book to introduce me to calculus based mechanics and e & m. I've taken courses on both of these, but they were algebra based and I'm looking to get a better insight into the calculus based stuff. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

Start with the famous Halliday-Resnick's "Fundamentals of Physics" or "Physics".
 
The Halliday-Resnick-Krane-Walker book is a good start, if you've taken a first course in calculus and differential equations you can start off with Kleppner and Kolenkow An Introduction to Mechanics.
 
Thanks for the great recommendations guys... Greatly appreciated.
 

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...

Thread 'Blennow to follow up Altland?'

TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
