Could anyone advise textbook(s) with the following properties:
- No flashy pictures (but with pictures nonetheless; maybe in black line).
- Preferably one column of text (maybe two at max).
- Good selection of about 10-25 problems that require some thought, less mechanical work.
- Reasonably concise. Perhaps up to 1000 pages.
- Could be a combination of books (preferably not, but I don't think that's necessarily possible).
Basically, I like to zoom in on text, because otherwise I find it hard(er) to concentrate. That's why I like content be presented linearly without random pictures in various unexpected places on the page. If I need more visual representation of something I can go looks elsewhere on the Internet.
Here's what I used for learning calculus that I think is suitable for someone like me http://www.whitman.edu/mathematics/calculus/calculus.pdf It'd be great if I could fine a book like that for basic university physics.
PS: I don't think I like Feynman's lectures on physics, though.
PPS: I may sound a bit arrogant with the abundant usage of "I", but I think other people could benefit from such a thread, too.
