Does that mean with or without a prerequisite of calculus?

Physics is incomprehensible without calculus. It's also great fun to learn calculus along with the physics :-)).

I would second this. Explanation are clear and brief. Very good memorable diagrams. The diagrams are meaningful and easy to understand. It is better than the Resnick book.
