Which Textbooks Should I Use to Self-Teach Physics?

[tomaso88]

Hey everyone, I really do hope I'm posting in the right section new forums can be overwhelming sometimes so it's hard to know.

I'm looking to start learning physics, I have little to no experience in the subject and was wondering what textbooks I should buy, I want to self teach myself from a beginners level, to as far as I am able to at home, so basically from a year 11 level to as advance as I can possibly self teach, I know there are ebooks on this site but I'd rather learn out of a textbook, any help is greatly appreciated and I promise to become active on this forum once i start learning :). I don't want to just learn theories I actually want to learn what they teach at school and uni. I can to this forum after realising I should ask some experts what I should learn instead of buying random textbooks.

How much mathematics do you know? Algebra? Trigonometry? Calculus?

I know algebra and trigonometry, If I see the physics work though and I realize I need to work more on my maths as well I'll just get my old math textbooks and buy some if I have to :) but I don't know Calculus

yeah but those book listings don't really tell me where to start from a begginer plus I want to actually learn what they are learning at school from basic physics to advance

Maybe it's late, but this book is very interesting and useful (as u want from basic to advance)
