Last time I made the mistake of making a solutions manual thread. This is probably what I should've asked instead:
Most textbooks I own either have poor student solutions manuals or offer a few answers in the back, which makes learning yourself and checking your work rather difficult. I'm going to post some of the topics I'm looking for books in, and if anyone knows of a textbook that is geared towards people who are teaching themselves, I'd appreciate it if you could list the title so I can buy it.
Ideally, I want these books to contain a lot of worked out examples, and answers to the majority of the practice problems. The answers don't necessarily have to be worked out solutions, just enough to check your work.
Also, if you could mention which of these features the book you're recommending has in your posts, i.e. "I recommend ______, it has plenty of examples, though no solutions."
Topics:
Differential Geometry
Quantum Mechanics
Relativity
E&M
Optics
Magnetohydrodynamics
