/sci/ - Science & Math

I remember my physics teacher once saying that pretty much any physics problem can be modelled with a system of differential equations.
I'm a mathfag with absurdly little knowledge of physics. Does anyone here know how I can learn about this the best way? If anyone knew of a book dealing with this specifically, that would be awesome beyond belief.
Obviously I'll first need to understand a few physics laws, let's say that's a prerequisite and I'll have that covered once I get to the suggested sauces.
