<p>What are some really helpful books to use in addition to or to replace an honors-level physics textbook?</p>
<p>I have a really bad physics teacher and a useless textbook. I'm trying to do some self-studying to (hopefully) improve my grades in that class</p>
<p>The Feynman Lectures 3 Volume Set</p>
<p>Haliday & Resnick for a calculus based course.</p>
<p>(Feynman lectures would probably be too hard if you don't already know a lot of physics).</p>

<p>Are you guys kidding me. Have you ever heard of Conceptual Physics by Hewitt? Get that. Feynman and Halliday for an honors level course?! haha.</p>
<p>thanks for the help! i'll look into all of those</p>
<p>I used Serway (Physics for Scientists and Engineers), which was pretty good. If you have a thorough knowledge of calc, and are daring, try Introduction to Mechanics (Kleppner)</p>
