What calculus is needed for understanding classical physics

Click For Summary
For self-teaching physics, particularly classical mechanics, a foundational understanding of calculus is essential. Differential calculus is crucial, and resources like Khan Academy provide free courses on both calculus and differential equations, which are particularly relevant for classical mechanics. It's recommended to start with differential calculus before moving on to differential equations, as these concepts will enhance comprehension of the physical principles involved. Links to these resources are available on the Khan Academy website.

Hey guy, I'm a just new in physics and i want to self-teaching it. But i don't know what calculus i need for classical mechanic. Pleas help!
And if you suggest me a book can you pleas help to send me a link (and the book must be in pdf pleas)

Thank

TL;DR: Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? Hi, I want to learn ultrafast optics and I am interested in condensed matter physics, ie using ultrafast optics in condensed matter systems. However, before I get onto ultrafast optics I need to improve my electrodynamics knowledge. Should I study Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? My level at the moment is Griffiths. Given my interest in ultrafast optics in condensed matter, I am not sure which book is better suited for me. If...
