<p>I was planning on doing an independent study with my Physics B teacher next year and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a good textbook (not a review book)?</p>
<p>I use University Physics by Young & Freedman to study physics on my own.</p>
<p>Thanks! I will look into it.</p>
<p>If you’re passionate about Physics, try reading The Feynman Lectures on Physics Vol I. It’s about 40 bucks, but the most priceless Physics book you can ever own.</p>
<p>It’s calculus-based and very useful.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I second that too. It’s great! I have The Feynman Lectures on Physics series and it’s really different from a textbook but still good</p>
<p>I am passionate about physics but I think we have to distinguish passion from genius. Could one of you enlighten me a bit more on what makes the Feymen Lecture more useful and different from other textbooks?</p>
<p>The Feynman Lectures on Physics are a great resource for getting the concepts down, as he explains in such a way that makes Physics easy and fun.</p>
<p>Though if you already love physics, all physics is easy and fun. But if you love physics that much, you’ll have no problem reading the Feynman lectures. It has no exercises after each chapter, and it’s all text and not many diagrams or pictures, but like I said—it’s a book anyone interested in physics should read.</p>
<p>If you want to understand physics, read the Feynman Lectures. Then read another textbook, and you will get a 5 on the exam.</p>
