Without knowing what is your current level it is very difficult to suggest any book.<p>If you are talking about textbooks, it really depends on what topic you want to learn (Algebra, Calculus, Mechanics, Electromagnetism…).<p>If you want a generalist one, many colleges&#x27; choice has proven it&#x27;s:<p>Physics for Scientists and Engineers<p>(the latest Edition is better of course) by Paul A. Tipler (Author), Gene Mosca<p>Conceptual Physics by Hewitt<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.conceptualphysics.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.conceptualphysics.com&#x2F;</a>
