Calculus and Physics

I recently graduated from high school this last term, and throughout my years in high school I focused on Physics and Mathematics. I took many IB courses my Junior year, but towards in the end of that year, a situation arose and I had to abandon all courses. I'm now stuck in a quandry. I will be attending college next term, and I'm planning to seek an internship or a job program with NASA. I have a general knowledge of Calculus and a thorough knowledge of Physics (though it was taught without using Calculus). I want to continue to learn Physics and Calculus, preferrably I would like to start over and learn Physics with Calculus again. I've downloaded various texts on Physics that deal with Calculus, but in my search I haven't found any free Calculus texts that would offer the same degree of learning as the IB Programme would have taught me.
Does anyone know of someone, or possess a text online that I could use to help me learn this summer?

Re: Calculus and Physics

Eric Weisstein's World of Mathematics is a great reference site but it is not in an instructional format.

MIT OpenCourseware gives access to all of the lectures, notes and problem sets for many of their courses.

The calculus page offers a number of resources for calculus students.

Re: Calculus and Physics

Here are two Calculus guides that you might want to check out:

http://www.survivecalculus.edu.ms <--- note: It only includes Calculus I topics

http://www.calculus-help.com/funstuff/phobe.html <--- fun flash animations, but it stops at derivatives...
