Studying Where Can I Find Introductory Physics E-books for Kindle?

AI Thread Summary
To prepare for a future in physics, focus on foundational topics such as Classical Mechanics and Electromagnetism, as they serve as the basis for more advanced subjects. Resources like Halliday & Resnick are recommended for introductory physics. For further study, explore books on Optics, Statistical Mechanics, Thermodynamics, and other areas listed, keeping in mind the importance of a solid understanding of the fundamentals before tackling advanced topics like Quantum Mechanics and String Theory. Kindle availability may vary, but many educational texts are accessible in digital formats. Starting with these foundational subjects will provide a strong groundwork for future studies in physics.

I hope to pursue a future in physics one-day, and my friend who has left the state to study left me a list of things to study that would help. Anyone know where I can find books that aren't too over the top with what I'm about to list. I know that Quantum and String are advanced, so I was thinking something to prepare me for when I get down to them. Thanks, here the list he left me:
Classical Mechanics
Optics
Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics
Electronics
Electromagnetism
Quantum Mechanics (broad subject with several sub-disciplines)
Quantum Topology
Atoms and Molecules
Solid State Physics
Nuclear Physics
Plasma Physics
Special Relativity
Phenomenology
General Relativity
Quantum Field Theory
Superstring Theory

I have the newer kindle, so it helps my reading if they're are on there.

PS. I'm a tenth grader if that helps
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Start with classical mechanics and E&M. Everything else (for the most part) follows from there. I don't know about kindle availability, but I like Halliday&Resnick for intro physics.
 
Thanks man, I'll get started on those
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
