Baez mentions the books you should read , and they are conveniently listed according to increasing levels of difficulty .
This is the list of books that Berkeley recommends for people who want to teach themselves Physics .
And yet another list that is pretty good , which was compiled on Physics Stack Exchange .
Nobel laureate professor Gerard 't Hooft has recommended some learning sources that are all available , and Hooft also has advice .
The Genesis of Calculus:a A Revolutionary EpochThe quest to comprehend change has been a timeless pursuit throughout human history. While early mathematicians like Archimedes ventured into territories that foreshadowed integral calculus, the 17th century marked a monumental leap in these concepts, thanks to the parallel and complementary efforts of Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.Newton’s Calculus InnovationsThe contributions of Sir Isaac Newton to calculus were nothing short of revolutionary. His exploration of ‘fluxions’ delved into the concept of the rate of change, providing insights into instantaneous velocities. He formalized the concept of a limit and devised techniques to ascertain the slope of tangents to curves, laying the cornerstone for differential calculus.Newton’s exploration of calculus went hand in hand with his groundbreaking work in physics. The interplay between calculus and physics was exemplified through his laws of motion and universal gravitation. His introduction of the derivative, represented as: v = \frac{dx}{dt} offered a foundational understanding of how objects move and change their positions over time.
