Online Physics Books - Learn Physics and Astronomy

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a newcomer seeking online resources for learning physics, particularly a book that offers progressively challenging problems. The response emphasizes that sharing books online is not permitted, and instead suggests obtaining a basic physics textbook from a public library. Recommended texts include high school or introductory college-level books by authors like Sears and Zemansky or Halliday and Resnick. Additionally, it encourages the newcomer to work through problems independently and seek help in the Homework forum if needed.

Hello,

I'm new here, so i'll probably be asking a lot of questions regarding physics. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could post an online physics book or something that explains how to do simple physics questions and progressively get harder, cause I'm really interested in physics and astronomy and I hope to have a career in it one day.

Thank you.

Trentt, we don't post books online here. I suggest that you get a basic physics book (your public library may have one) and begin working through it. Depending on your level of math background, that might be a high school text, or an intro college text such as those by Sears and Zemansky, or Halliday and Resnick. Try working the problems. If you get stuck on one, you can post your problem and attempted solution in the Homework forum and receive help. Good luck!

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)...
