Feynman, Richard P., et al. The Feynman Lectures on Physics (New Millennium 3-volume Red Set). New millennium edition ; New Millennium 3-volume red jacket set, Basic Books, 2011.
Feynman’s signature undergraduate course in physics is clearly laid out exceptionally well written, and develops a strong basis of understanding during the first two foundational years of a physics curriculum.
Perko, Lawrence. Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems. Springer-Verlag. 1991.
A clear and concise reference for differential equation methods which frequently comes in handy when stuck finding the correct approach to a certain system.
Shurman, Jerry. Calculus and Analysis in Euclidian Space. Springer. 2016.
In this enlightening and elegant introduction to vector calculus, Shurman relies on a delicate approach to proofs and analysis and provides an extremely thoughtful set of practice problems, the combination of which allows a student to develop a true grasp on the intricacies of the subject.
