Hey everybody! I am a physics junior in education college and I feel that I am not getting a good preparation in Physics and Mathematics. I have a basic understanding of Algebra, Calculus I and General Physics And I am totally free for THREE months period and I am ready to study for at least 12 hours a day.So, What online courses and textbook do you recommend?

Easy there! Don't burn yourself out! Use the summer to relax a bit before really hitting the books again during the school year.

I'd say look up which textbooks you'll need for your upcoming classes and grab those if possible.
