AI Thread Summary
Recommendations for tough math and science textbooks at the high school and calculus level emphasize the value of older editions, which can often be found for under $10. Dover publications are highlighted for their affordable math and physics books. Users are encouraged to utilize Google for free online resources, including PDFs, videos, and courses. "Fundamentals of Physics" is specifically mentioned as a good resource, with older editions available at low prices. The discussion notes that self-study allows flexibility in tackling advanced material without the pressure of deadlines.

Hey guys; can anyone recommend some tough textbooks for math and science high school and calculus level. Not the 100$ new ones but some old ones such as some listed in the "So you want to be a mathematcian" thread? Thanks.

They might be a little on the more advanced side, but Dover publishes a lot of inexpensive math and physics books.
 
Google is your friend, there are ton's of free textbook pdf's/online videos/courses out there.

If you really prefer text and not the computer screen though (some do), older editions of textbooks can be had for fewer than 10 dollars if you do enough searching. Fundamental’s of Physics is a good resource for physics, and older beat up editions I've seen selling for about 5 dollars. (Plus shipping of course.)

Maybe it's a little too advanced, but since it's self study(I'm assuming here), there is no deadline or rush to understand the material.

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
This is part 2 of my thread Collection of Free Online Math Books and Lecture Notes Here, we will consider physics and mathematical methods for physics resources. Now, this is a work in progress. Please feel free comment regarding items you want to be included, or if a link is broken etc. Note: I will not post links to other collections, each link will point you to a single item. :book:📚📒 [FONT=trebuchet ms]Introductory college/university physics College Physics, Openstax...
