There are a number of books in this series dealing with all sort of scientific topics. Has anyone read any of these?

I am fairly certain that these books are just lots and lots of problems with solutions. Not any discussion. I may be thinking of the wrong books though.

I looked through one of those at a Borders. They are pretty much like Norman described. Lots of worked problems, and minimal discussion.

Seemed pretty good for what it was though.
 
These books are great if you are the kind of person that needs lots of worked examples, which a lot of standard textbooks do not come with. As far as I'm concerned, they're great. I have 5 of them.

Thread 'Blennow to follow up Altland?'

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)...
