Physics for Absolute Beginners

[@mohammedelsharkawy6541]

I saw too many who are recommending "Physics for Scientists and Engineers with introduction to modern physics by serway" and what I find it as an advantage is that there are two whole playlists on youtube which are going through the whole book explaining it in the form of two full university courses so it will be excellent to study from the textbook in parallel with watching the course

For most students the best starting point is Hewitt's "Conceptual Physics". Concepts before calculations. After that "Instant Physics" by Tony Rotman. Study those and then go for Giancoli or Resnick or pretty much any textbook on Physics.

[@sol-cute]

thank you

[@michaelsommers2356]

I disagree strongly. If you really want to learn physics, Halliday and Resnick, or something like it, is the place to start. You can't do physics with words or "concepts", you have to do the math, and H&R will teach how to do that. You also have to learn not to plug in the numbers right away, and U&R also teaches that. At least the 1960s version did; I don't know about later editions. The book does assume that you are learning calculus at the same time.

Giancoli's book was the book from my first physics course and i referenced it all the way through my masters.

That's what I used for Engineering Physics I and II during sophmomre year in college. I had calculus and non-calc based physics in high school and repeated calculus I-IV during my freshman year.

I picked up the Giancoli with the complete Instructor's Resources - all the answers worked out in detail and other materials for a few bucks at an estate sale a few years ago. What a deal! 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.

[@joelhenderson3723]

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.

[@douglasstrother6584]

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.

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.

[@stevescodinglab]

​@@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 😁

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.

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.

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 am 17 years old , studying in 11th , can you recommend me a book to start? I know basic calculus

[@billmorrigan386]

@@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!

It is wonderful to see & hear anywhere, also on KZbin 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 KZbin 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...

Calculus is absolutely important to physics and it’s invaluable in learning or teaching it. Likewise so is linear algebra. I would recommend an understanding of calculus II and linear before attempting Introduction to physics I[classical mechanics] and a thorough understanding of calc III, vector calculus, and Ordinary Differential equations before physics II[waves and E&M] For the most part physics I doesn’t require more than an understanding of integration. Once you get into the chemistry/heat/sound you’ll need differential equations to understand the proofs and you really don’t get any less advanced. E&M requires Vector calculus and that’s one of the reasons why teaching physics II to non majors is absolutely brutal. Vectors {and quaternions} were made in the process to discover Electricity and Magnetism and it’s quite difficult to describe how a magnetic field interacts with a charged particle without them.

I took Physics 1 , 2 , and 3 in college when I was becoming an engineer. Now I feel like I want to get deeper into physics. Where should I go next?

[@TylerAStinson]

You should make a complete learning path featuring all of the book you have featured on your channel

[@azimuth4850]

If you aren't sure which book to study from, just go with the one that smells better.

[@nastohkohistani4196]

I just come around so that I may at last find the courage to learn mathematics, physics and philosophy or to keep myself atleast engaged. I don't know what does that even mean. Lots of love ❤

[@gzpan]

For high schoolers I would say that Giancoli is pretty good for the AP physics 1 and physics 2 course although it doesn't cover everything and the Halliday book is a really good book for AP Physics C: Mech or Physics C: E&M although you need to have both volumes of Halliday to learn both AP Physics C

[@dwatson1470]

What book would you recommend for someone who has no experience in physics at all?

[@gzpan]

@@dwatson1470 start with Giancoli as it's algebra based and relatively easy to get into

[@UnconventionalReasoning]

The Giancoli textbook covers everything for APP1. What do you think it misses for APP2? Though that course should really be scrapped...

[@godassasin8097]

I have a physics test tomorrow time to study all of physics now

[@TheMathSorcerer]

Oh wow good luck, do your best:)

[@tmann986]

I remember I had to do university physics 1&2 (calc based) I did horrible but stuck through physics 1. Physics 2 I got a B somehow haha. I love physics 😊 but I’m in an engineering major 😔

[@danielfromca]

I like University Physics by Randall a bit more than Giancoli. Full solutions are available on Chegg.

[@Idle_Idol]

Ngl the title is kinda clickbaity, I was expecting for there to be like explanations and examples on physics but it's just a book review. But it's a good list and should be really helpful to me if I'll ever need it, so thank you!

[@UserSOF0]

bro learned all the math and he is going to learn physics now 😭

[@amanjyotijatta2085]

Hii, I'm going to enter into undergrad Computer Science, but I also want to read all physics of history, Sir can you make a list on college physics books ??

[@satviktripathii]

the resnick and halliday book is used here in india for jee prepration and i myself in 11th use it occasionally

[@PhillipRhodes]

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.

[@UnconventionalReasoning]

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

[@Ayushcoder]

Are there any recommendation for me a freshmen high schooler but I can afford only 1 book ig so the book should contain all of high school plus some university knowledge

[@EternalDarknessAboveTheBlueSky]

Good timing. I decided I wanted to study the big 3 (Biology, Chemistry, and Physics), but I've trouble finding good physics books. Do you study any other sciences?

[@bartholomewallen7550]

Please make a whole book recommendations from zero to most advanced just like you made a video on math.

[@زيادايمن-ث3ش]

I learn phisics in next week from this books 📚📖

[@djisuruperera4520]

Hi Math Sorcerer, I am a philosophy student and wondered whether you can do a video on the foundations of math. I have recently been reading about Bertrand Russell, Sets and Categories and wondered what a Math professor though about all this as opposed to a philosophy professor.

[@Jaymastia]

He has done it

I was hoping you would do a video on physics👍

[@OcculticComrade]

What calculus would be useful to learn before diving into physics???? Specifically the calculus based physics you talk about in the first book you recommend in the video. Thx to all in advance.

[@UnconventionalReasoning]

A calculus textbook like Thomas, studied concurrently with the textbooks including calculus by Giancoli; Young; or Halliday is a reasonable plan. Getting a little ahead in Calculus, perhaps 2-3 chapters, may help.

[@sathyanp.g2000]

very use full information .all the books are very good i have all of then i have some othe names also....

[@أمينالهريمي]

I love your videos

[@TheMathSorcerer]

Thank you!!

[@SPIRITEN25559]

Can I learn with the Giancoli book, if I learned Precalc and the introduction to calculus in precalc from steward or do I need more knowledge in calculus?

[@AmaanShaikh-l2k]

hi math sorcerer i am thing of revising pre algebra and I have two resources for it first one being Pre-Algebra: A practical step-by-step approach Gary S. Goldman, and the other one is Elementary Algebra Katherine Yoshiwara, Can you provide a detail review of both of these books which one is better or if we can combine section from both the books to make it better. Both of these books pdf are available on the internet btw.
