I'm a Computer Science major and need 16 hours of science, so I'm going to take 8 hours of Chemistry, and 8 hours of Physics (the rote learning in Biology was killing me).
The physics classes are Mechanics and Electricity (designed for engineering students). I have a high interest in Physics as I have been reading Stephen Hawking books, it is all quite fascinating.
Does anyone have any superb recommendations for a mechanics book to learn on my own before entering the class? I prefer to teach myself a subject first, books are the best way for me to learn.
I've looked at Goldstein's Classical Mechanics, it looks pretty good. Would it be a good choice?
