AI Thread Summary
For college-level physics, particularly in electricity and magnetism, Schaum's Outlines are highly recommended as effective study guides. They provide a clear and concise approach to complex topics, making them suitable for students seeking supplementary material beyond traditional textbooks. Users are encouraged to explore specific titles within the Schaum's series to find the best fit for their needs. Additionally, there is a request for alternative recommendations beyond Schaum's, indicating a desire for a variety of resources to aid in understanding the subject matter.

hi can anyone recommend a helpful physics guide book, kind of like the barron's and princeton review books for SAT but for college, not textbook, that will help me understand and get through physics electricity and magnetism? the textbook is pretty much useless in terms of the examples that it provides.

Schaum's make outlines for all general areas of physics - they are really good study guides for things, like e&m, at the college level. They should make what you are looking for.
 
thanks for the suggestion. i just searched for their books but do you know which physics book specifically would be best for me. i saw many different versions. any other people with suggestions other then schaum's?
 
TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first...
TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
