Looking for good books to help learn some math and physics.

[Sagittarius]

Start your journey with Euclid's Elements (many translations are available freely on line).

End it with A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism by James Clerk Maxwell.

Somewhere in there, study Dewey Larson's ideas of physics (many good web sites attend to this, most may be found by a search for "Reciprocal Systems Theory")

Also, along the way, read In Search of the Miraculous, by P.D.Ouspensky; The Holographic Universe, by Michael Talbot, and Wholeness and the Implicate Order, by David Bohm.

If you manage to finish all of these successfully, before I die, I will treat you to several bottles of good champagne.

Edited to add: Sagittarius, the Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism is extremely sophisticated and difficult; it requires considerable facility in both differential equations, and quaternion mathematics (the latter being a lost art). Don't let this discourage you, but you'll need to do a great deal of work to get from "point A" to "point B".

Thanks mate looks like an extremely helpful list. I will bookmark this thread and come back to those books when I'am ready. I'll get through physics for dummies which seams like an excellent basic starting point. No doubt I have a lot of learning to do before I can get anywhere near understanding the advanced stuff.

Bout time I dusted of the old graphics calculator.

"point a" to "point b" I see what you did there hehe.
