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.

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?
