just start with the Feynman undergraduate lectures (listed). The easy-mode of that is "Six Easy Pieces" (read it on kindle) which are the easiest 6 lectures.

At some point you'll need math, I recommend https://www.amazon.com/No-bullshit-guide-linear-algebra/dp/0... (I actually started here), and for calculus, "No BS Guide to Math/Physics" by the same author. These books both include a review of high school math (i.e. trig) which i needed. For DiffEq I currently recommend Logan's "A First Course in Differential Equations", this is where I am now and I found this the most gentle after trying several textbooks recommended from r/math. Context: I am an adult with an engineering degree from 20 yrs ago.

Depending on your background and intentions, you might like:

Savov: https://www.amazon.com/No-bullshit-guide-linear-algebra/dp/0...

Strang: https://www.amazon.com/Linear-Algebra-Learning-Gilbert-Stran...

Klein: https://www.amazon.com/Coding-Matrix-Algebra-Applications-Co...

I think the pacing and exercises in the above Strang book are great.

I'm curious what you think of the "No Bullshit Guide to Linear Algebra" [1]? I'm considering buying it to refresh my knowledge from school. Or what books do you suggest?
