Classical What are some recommended resources for learning general physics with calculus?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding a textbook or online PDF for general physics with calculus. The popular recommendation is Halliday and Resnick's Physics I and II, which is considered suitable for high school to first-year college students. While the original poster couldn't find an affordable copy in good condition, a participant mentions that Amazon offers these books for $12 or less. The conversation also hints at the possibility of looking for alternative textbooks if the specific needs of the original poster differ from the standard recommendations.

Looking for a textbook or online pdf on general physics with calculus. I looked for Halliday and Resnick's Physics I and II from my past but did not find an affordable copy in good condition. If it includes advanced material, that is OK.

Can you say which level you're looking for?

Resnick and Halliday is the book that is generally referred for general physics for levels of high school to first years in college. I'll have to search for another book for your case.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

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!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
