- Building a toy physics engine like Box2D or working on a Ray tracer will teach you about mechanics & light respectively.
Also the two volumes of Leonard Suskid's "Theoretical Minimum" are a great place to start for highschool math.
You cannot master all of physics not even professional physicists can master all of physics.
What you need is;
a) The theoretical minimum.
b) A niche in physics you have an interest in. (I recommend you start with the "A Very short introduction" books.
You can get into Astronomy, Cosmology, Electricity for example.
Also it would be great to have a copy 9f Richard Feynman's Lectures of physics.
