A freshman here, Hi. I am taking the following courses this year:
E&M, Mechanics, Calc., Statistics and Chemistry.
i use Halliday-Resnick volume 2 for E&m, vol.1 for mechanics while i use Serway-Jewett as reference. for stats its Anthony Hayter and Ebbing-GAmmon for Chem
my problem is this, when i start a new chapter, what proportion of the problems should i target to finish before moving on? i want to keep a certain amount for final revision at the year's end but until then how much would be a good target as in for understanding and to get a good span of problems?
Normally, what did you do back when you were at Freshman year? Also is there any other text you would recommend other than those i have mentioned more tailored for freshman year for these courses? IS serway-jewett a good choice? i feel like the problems are more relevant to what i can do at this time but i need some expert opinion...
regarding other titles; i know Purcell, zemansky and Irodov are great for these courses , but honestly i feel like these are beyond my level, as in i can't go more than 20% into these at this point in time. i wanted to be more familiar with the subject material in a way that best prepares me for these books later at Junior year. Thanks in Advance
