Thanks for your comment. For people new to physics (I am one of them) I can't recommend strongly enough Leonard Susskind's 'The Theoretical Minimum' courses -- http://theoreticalminimum.com/courses http://theoreticalminimum.com/courses . I'm currently going through the one on Special Relativity and EM concurrently with Hestenes' text.
- jclos 9y agoThis is great, thanks so much for linking this. I acquired a taste for mathematics way too late and didn't get a chance to grasp physics at university because of it, the Theoretical Minimum courses seem to be exactly the second chance I was looking for.
- aeoost 9y agoAwesome! By the way, there are also books that accompany the first three courses: https://www.amazon.com/Classical-Mechanics-Theoretical-GEORGE-HRABOVSKY/dp/0141976225/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1513433747&sr=1-5&keywords=the+theoretical+minimum https://www.amazon.com/Classical-Mechanics-Theoretical-GEORG... https://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Mechanics-Theoretical-Leonard-Susskind/dp/0465062903/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1513433747&sr=1-4&keywords=the+theoretical+minimum https://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Mechanics-Theoretical-Leonard... https://www.amazon.com/Special-Relativity-Classical-Field-Theory/dp/0465093345/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1513433747&sr=1-3&keywords=the+theoretical+minimum https://www.amazon.com/Special-Relativity-Classical-Field-Th... If you get the first one, make sure to get the one titled 'Classical Mechanics' and not just 'The Theoretical Minimum' as the former is a more recent printing with many corrections.
