Physics Book Recommendations
I have a deep interest in mathematics and have been studying it using James Stewart’s Calculus, Early Transcendentals. Once I finish the book, I am interested in branching out into the Physics world. My only background in the subject is my grade school and junior highschool courses in which I did not take too seriously and so I would like a book that would strengthen those lessons, as well as give a large amount of additional, advanced topics. Does such a book even exist? I am unaware of the natural progression of physics courses and therefore do not know where to branch out to. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

University Physics with Modern Physics by Freedman. Hands down. I’m working though it together with Stewart, it’s a great combo. I’m at the end of chapter five in Freedman, I have about 40 problems left. Just beware there are typos in the problems and incorrect answers for odd numbered problems, but that’s usually the case with textbooks.
