Schaum's OuTlines are FANTASTIC.
it's like Cole's Notes, but for mathematics (physics).
they cut out all the useless filler like pictures and exhausingly complicated explanations.
They focus on the math itself and have hundreds of fully worked example problems, as well as 100s of practise problems with answers.
I first used one in a Modern Physics course. It cost me under 30 dollars and in about 60 pages covered the material a far more clear, concise, logical, and more espescially pedagogical manner than the 250 page text book that cost $180.
I will never buy another textbook.
I now have over a dozen ouTlines, for everything from Calculus and Statistics to Quantum Mechanics and Tensor Calculus (the math they use for General Relativity).
I spend less time on homework, less time studying, and I rarely need to go to the professor for help.
You could home school graduate level courses with these.
I am.
