Help me find the ideal physics book for self-study
Please consider Physics by Halliday Resnick Krane as well. It's much pithier than the rest, meaning to say, it teaches you much more with lesser text, imo. University Physics is good, but sometimes tends to talk a lot of crap.- physicsnoob93

Graduate References or aids in learning QM?
Hi, I am currently working through Griffith's textbook on quantum mechanics. I was just wondering if there are any animations or videos that work along with griffiths and clarify certain concepts. Thanks.- physicsnoob93

Could anyone recommend me a book
You might be fine with any normal undergraduate textbook like University Physics by Young&Freedman, Physics by Halliday Resnick and Krane, Physics for Scientists and Engineers by Serway yadayada. If you want something more advanced, Purcell isn't bad.- physicsnoob93

Which Books Best Supplement Serway for Electromagnetism?
Halliday Resnick, and Halliday Resnick Krane are good. I don't really like Halliday Resnick Walker.- physicsnoob93

Schools Considering French universities/Grande Ecoles
Never been to an ecole myself, but there was someone representing the ecoles at my school. You have to go through a 2 year training program or something, in French. And if you don't know French they teach it to you concurrently. At the end of the 2 years, you have to take a test and your...- physicsnoob93

Is Berkley as competitive to get into as Yale or UCLA
I have talked to an admissions officer in Berkeley. He told me that the easiest way to get into berkeley is attend a small college around the area and apply for a transfer later on.- physicsnoob93

Trying to self study Linear Algebra
What I mean is that I would not want to learn it the way Hoffman and Kunze approaches it. The exercises include proofs, etc and only look at the pure math side of it. Something like Shores would show the graphical meaning of it all and includes examples with applications. I don't think I'm...- physicsnoob93

Trying to self study Linear Algebra
Thanks for the replies you guys. I think I am not really interested in learning Linear Algebra in such a way. I am more interested in it's applications. Now, what do you recommend?- physicsnoob93

Replacement for Campbell's Biology
I think I have the same problem with Campbell. However, when I really get myself to read it, it is interesting, but time consuming. Once it gets time consuming it turns you off. I have seen people use the book https://www.amazon.com/dp/0131005065/?tag=pfamazon01-20 and like it. It has been...- physicsnoob93
