I'm planning to sample each resource for 5 hours or so to make a judgement. I'm looking for which one is most interesting to read.
Resources should involve equations (calculus is just fine), and be comparable to a textbook, instead of a popularization.
Should cover mechanics, electromagnetism, heat, etc.

From a poster smarter than me:
"if you are looking for proof-based stuff, i would recommend using art of problem solving vol 1 and vol 2 (they're on libgen) and then spivak's calculus (reteaches it with rigor)
ah
i would recommend this too
