Hello! I'm new here. I'm on my first year of physics at the UNAM, in Mexico, and I want to now which books and resources would you recommend me to 'survive' in the career, not just in physics, but also in the mathematical formalism for subjects such as geometry, abstract algebra, calculus, programming, etc. I've studied physics and a bit of calculus before and I'm in an intermediate kinda level.

Hello @Emi_Garrido , and
:welcome: ##\qquad##!​

Here at PF we actively encourage self-support.
So: what did you find in this forum so far ? Anything you like better than other stuff ?

And: what kind of physicist do you want to be ? Theoretician :smile: ?

At the bottom of this page you will find a list of links "Suggested for:" your subject question. Maybe start by reading through a few of those to see some of the typical suggestions.

What Physics and Math textbooks are you using now in university?
 
Hello Intellectuals! So far it seems to be reasonable to learn mathematics in a rigorous way by not solely considering the techniques of problem solving or the applications of a particular subject or concept. Also to truly appreciate the beauty of mathematical endeavor one need to learn the reasoning behind the origination of concepts in mathematics, so as a beginner it appears to be worthwhile to learn the highly abstract aspects of mathematics like proofs, logic, and topics in pure...
