Studying Example Books For College Level Courses

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the need for a comprehensive book series designed to supplement college courses, particularly in advanced subjects like calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, and various areas of physics including mechanics and quantum theory. The original poster expresses a desire for a resource filled with challenging examples and detailed solutions to enhance understanding beyond just achieving high grades. They emphasize the importance of working through numerous examples to achieve a deeper comprehension of the material, akin to reaching an expert level in the field. A link to a resource from McGraw-Hill Professional is provided, suggesting it may cover a wide range of topics relevant to the request.

Has anyone heard of some sort of book series that is meant to supplement college courses with boatloads of examples and solutions? I've always thought it would be helpful if someone were to publish a big set of these. I've been searching for just a book full of challenging examples and step by step solutions, for calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, lagrangian/hamiltonian mechanics, E&M, optics, quantum, basically a full undergrad course set for physics.

If anyone has any suggestions that would be great. I've found that just making an A in a class doesn't quite get me to the level of understanding I'd like to have. Trying to get to Tony Stark level, and I've found the best way to do that is to work examples until my hand blisters.

-sorry if the grammar is unsatisfactory, writing this on a shaky bus

Thanks all

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
