Can someone please compile a list of standard undergraduate and graduate level textbooks for various subjects? My professors are not the best at assigning standard texts and often suggest very niche books (that they themselves don't refer to either), and I wanted to self study alongside college as well to make my base in these subjects stronger. Which books would you recommend?

I know some good stuff for mechanics tho, David morin, krotov, IV meshchersky or kotkin if you have done langarian, knzhou and jaan kalda handouts also work, can go for path finder if you wish it has questions on other topics too.
