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?
 

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
