Hello everyone. I'm new here so I'd like to know your opinion. My question is (as the title says) are Schaum books good for self-studying? I want to study physics by my own and I found this book Schaum's Outlines Beginning Physics I by Alvin Halpern and I wanted to be sure if it's a good book to do so. My plan is begin with this book (depending on what your opinions of it are) and gradually increasing the difficulty and get into more complicated physics, in the same Schaum collection or any other, and finally Quantum Mechanics. But obviously I want to start from the beginning. Is this a good way/book? Can I keep studying with Schaum's books (Beginning Physics II, College Physics and Quantum Mechanics), will I learn with it? In the mathematics field I'm studtying from the collection Calculus by Jerrold Marsden and Alan Weinstein. So I study physics as well as mathematics. I tried to study physics from University Physics by Young and Freedman but it seems not to have enough mathematics for me, many letters. I want to do the calculations. So that's it. Glad to be here and thanks in advance all of you. (Sorry if my english was not good enough.)
