    It is wonderful to see & hear anywhere, also on KZread channels, like yours, when someone like you talk both about mathematics & physics, with passion and knowledge. And, it is delightful and I love it, especially because in KZread community it is pretty rare to see someone to present mathematics and physics in such way. Authors of YT math videos prefer to present only mathematics, if anything else is on the menu, then it is presented through mathematics "glasses", by trig or by calc, sometimes both, but most times it looks unnatural, like, ok, now I will push my limits (?) and will presenting some little&lite applied (?) mathematics through physics, and, I don't know, it rarely "sits" to me, I mean, I understood, but... And, most of the time, it is even worse when YT author "as "physician" put physics videos, even like courses like, it could be almost professional ones, but, when and if mathematics (behind that physics) was presented, it could be almost magical, depending on author internal emotional reality. Itis sometimes very good. But, sometimes author(s) ruin his own work, especially if there is, "behind the scenes" author's intention to say: look how smart am I (mensa & ctr), first was physics, and now here is mathematics behind all of that stuff, simetry, all that abstract algebras (not just "abstract algebra", rather lot of them, Lie algebras, Van Neumann algebras, ...), and I think, O. K., you are probably physicist with achievements in your field of physics, but, YT is "short" media, meaning you could / can have subscribed followers if your physics is accurate, understandable & educational and with elements of real life, humour & some elements of entertainment. And, that's the catch 22, sort of speaking. Anyway, I think I lost myself for the moment, that's why I prefer YT mathematics, physics or both channels like yours and some others, some of them also professors, who have no fear to present themselves as real persons with both personal advantages and lacks of them, not some alienish weirdos with meta AI-ish - "qualities". (I also have ideas to put some YT videos in perceable future, if and when it will be, we'll see, it must be at least both good and with respect towards followers.) Meaning it is two way communication, but author has leading role, and his/her responsibility is much bigger in such process, at least author must know that his/her feelings (especially "feelings") aren't important, or of any significance. At least it is as I see that way, I don't know, maybe wrong, but I see it like I wrote... Anyway, challenging, encouraging, enthusiastic, entertaining and very educational videos, professor Math Sorcerer🙃😂🙃. 👍✌️👍

    Matt Sands was my Senior Project advisor at UC Santa Cruz; he taught me to write physics properly. (He went through a lot of red pens!) Matt did most the writing and translation from "Feynmanese" to English for the Feynman Lectures. They still remind me that I'm too stupid to be a Freshman in Physics @ Cal Tech! ;) During one of our conversations, Matt explained to me "the most creative thing I've done": calculating the quantum effects of radiation in a storage ring. For sufficently high energies, the discrete nature of radiation affects the trajectory of the electrons; it will have kinks, rather than being smooth, due to the electron's recoil when emitting a photon. The design of storage rings needs to account for this phenomenon.

    Giancoli, Halliday resnick and walker plus 3000 problems of physics will get you through undergrad or other physical science related programs that requires various levels of undergrad physics. All are part of my library. The only addition is a mathematical physics book if you are actually a physics major. Arfken or Boas are very good. In fact for Arfken you can find out worked out examples that translate at least to undergrad courses and grad courses. For those that have to deal with Jackson there are almost exact solutions to some of the problems there dealing with greens function. Good luck. Great video and suggestions for self study. Definitely recommend this video for those who want to learn.

The deceased was a retired physics professor. But I soon learned that you don't really learn physics from a textbook - you need labs and to try things for yourself and just buying a cheap gyroscope and playing with teaches you more about how it really works than the descriptions in the best books. The books teach you the why.

    That's something that bothers me. I want to pick up a physics book, but I don't know how much value I would actually get from it. I understand very basic concepts of newtonian physics in algebraic terms, and I occasionally find that knowledge useful, which gives me hope, but at the same time I worry that I might not be able to find meaningful applications of anything more advanced without a structured way to access those relevant experiences. Physics seems easier to conceptualize without getting hands-on than, say, chemistry, but still potentially challenging.

    Huge like. Excellent books on physics. By the way, Feyman does have exercises to his three volume book. They usually come in separate books. I don't know why somebody said Halliday/Resnick's text is not comprehensive. It's pretty comprehensive for a general book and spans about 1500 pages. Textbooks by Halliday, Giancoli, and Young are all excellent. My advice is to also get a solutions manual for self-check, e.g., when dealing with challenging problems or in case of slip-ups. There's also an excellent non-calculus based course by Serway/Vuille. It might be good to start with a simpler book like Vuille before starting a longer, more advanced calculus-based course. The reason: Physics contains a lot of topics and they need to be reviewed and rehashed or a student will forget and confuse everything (too many topics). So, jumping straight on to a standard course (calculus based) with a 0 knowledge in physics is a bad idea. Of course, if a student has a superb knowledge of calculus, he/she may jump straight to, say, Physics by Young but I still wouldn't recommend it. In reality I see people not just not having a superior calculus knowledge but terrible gaps in _Elementary Algebra and Trigonometry_ that are patched up by truncated precalc and college algebra books but the severe gaps are still there.

    @@ArnobTarofder7 I'd recommend _Elementary Algebra and Trigonometry_ by Stewart. As to physics, I recommend Serway/Vuille. For calculus I recommend Larson + solutions manual to it. A more advanced, calculus based book on physics is by Young or by Halliday/Resnick. Both of them are very good but I wouldn't skip on an introductory course by Serway/Vuille, which is shorter and simpler. In other words, plunging into a 1500+ page calculus based physics by Young might be inefficient and hasty, which may lead to a superficial knowledge. Even a 1000+ page text on physics by Serway/Vuille is a ton of material to master. As to _Elementary Algebra and Trigonometry_ by Stewart, it's an important book to study so that there are fewer gaps in basic math. As to "basic" calculus, It's a relative thing. _Basic knowledge_ can mean various things. A professional mathematician can say he/she has some basic knowledge of calculus. I think we would have a different notion of _basic_ then. Simply put, Calculus by Larson is pretty basic. Of course we can also talk about single variable calculus by cutting the whole thing in two. That said, _A First Course in Calculus_ (even simpler and shorter than Larson's text; it covers only single variables) by Lang should be enough to jump right into the physics by Young. It's up to the student to decide. Math and physics are very vast and very difficult subjects. There are no shortcuts, only paths to superficial knowledge when only some chapters are covered and the rest remains unstudied and unknown to the student. I mean jumping to advanced books and picking some material there is not a good knowledge. It's more for show-off. You got to decide on your path. I hope this was of some help and good luck with studies!

    Hi! I have a couple of questions and would greatly appreciate if someone could help I'm currently a high school student with a passion for computer science(through which I discovered a growing interest to math and physics;-;) and I'll be graduating next year. I'm looking to delve into some foundational physics knowledge that I can study by myself. Between Giancoli's "Physics" and "University Physics with Modern Physics," which book would you recommend I start with?

    I was never much into Math because I never really saw an endpoint, but Physics was my jam. I never majored in it because I didn't see the utility because, at that time, I didn't want a PhD and wasn't interested in programming. To anyone reading this, there's such a thing as Medical Physics, really cool field. If I knew about it then my life definitely would have taken a much different trajectory. I have another book for you: College Physics by Beyer and Williams. It's fantastic.

    For people just getting started in physics I would recommend the idiots guide to physics. After reading that I was able to read physics for NASCAR. It was very readable and I was able to reproduce the results. I like the book how to solve physics problems by Danielle Oman. It requires high school physics knowledge but again very readable. I would recommend it over the 3000 problems in physics. I also like the physics book by Randall knight and the accompanying workbook that goes with it. The physics book I used in university was by serway and beichner. That was 15 years ago. Just recently I purchased the pocket guide for that set. The pocket book is very good. Obviously the Chris's McMullen books on physics are also very good.

    In Odessa Ukraine we were studying physics using Giancoli in late 1990s in the Richelieu Lyceum (from eighth to eleventh grade). Thanks to my teacher Yuriy Vasilievich Zavorotniy who used Russian translation of the book (it was published in 1980s! - the book with the green hardcover and two volumes in Russian). But still I see that even that old edition is still actual and good for studying physics. Together with the book we were using сollection of problems books by Lukashik, Goldfarb, Rymkevich, the book that is called "swan, cancer and pike", 1001 physics problems etc. (all the books were in Russian)

    I highly recommend K.A. Stroud's Engineering Mathematics, I bought the sixth edition in 2007. The first 400 or so pages cover High School mathematics to get you up to speed before you start undergraduate course in Physics. The remaining 800 pages covers mostly what you'll need for the first years and maybe half of the second year of a Physics course.

    ​@@LeoNardo-so2sx Ask the The Math Sorcerer because he'll be able to give a better answer than me. But, it all depends on the level of Physics you want to learn. To BSc level, it's very important to understand and be able to solve mathematics problems first to be able to understand why certain mathematical models are used to describe certain aspects of our observable universe. So, not a complete list, you'll learn Complex numbers, Matrices, Vectors, Advanced Calculus (Partial differentiation, first and second order Differentiation, integration and multiple integrals etc.), Statistics and Probability, Trigonometry, Polar Coordinate systems. You don't need to learn all of these at once... you build up slowly and incrementally and it's important to learn it in order because later maths builds upon ideas from maths invented in the past. I can't provide a link to this book here because this comment might be automatically blocked, but search Amazon for "K.A Stroud Engineering Mathematics with Dexter J. Booth" and you should find one of their editions there. Good luck with your studies 😁

    I need to take general physics 1 and 2 for medical school. I believe it’s less math based then the “university physics 1” class offered. I would like to learn it for a year at home before I take a class. I would like to start with a book that will either teach me the math at the same time or has none to commence my journey. Any other suggestions? Or should I just learn that complete math book first?

    Pls listen: you can learn physics also using the textbooks and revision guides and questionbanks of the International Baccalaureate IBO IB Diploma in physics. It is a 2 years course without use of calculus, Textbooks are from Cambridge, Oxford, Pearson etc. After 2 years there are written Physics Exams. I was during 15 years IB Physics Diploma Examiner.

Many editions of the book available, and video's of Paul doing experiments. The math/s in that book is mostly about yr 9 and 10 level. David Halliday is an outstanding communicator, also wrote a great book on Introductory Nuclear Physics in the 1950s.

    Just FYI, there is an "Extended Edition" of Halliday and Resnick as well, and it's as ginormous and comprehensive as any of the other ones you cited here. And as long as one is willing to settle for an older edition, copies can be had relatively inexpensively. For example, I see at least one copy of the 9th edition from 2010 for sale for less than $10 right now.

    Textbooks from the 1970-90s are better than today's textbooks. They rely less on numerical calculations, since they predate the TI-83.
