    Quantum Finding the Perfect Self-Study Book for Intro Stats & Quantum Mechanics

    I do not have any specific recommendations on statistical mechanics, hoping others could chime in. I agree with your assesment that Sakurai and Landau, although phenomenal books, may be a little too much for a first encounter.

    Quantum Finding the Perfect Self-Study Book for Intro Stats & Quantum Mechanics

    Assuming you know basic linear algebra, you should just start with one of those two books. I do not think you would need additional video lectures. I would start with McIntyre.

    What math course is Quaternion math taught in?

    Schwichtenberg's Physics from Symmetry has a nice intro section on Quaternions (very introductory and not very rigorous) and it is a physics book.

    Calculus What is the best textbook for understanding differentials?

    Are you looking for a book for differential equations? I like this Dover book. In addition, this is a good book for a begineer. Another good book is this. Fro problems, this is a good book.
