Hi
I've recently been accepted to grad school in Physics, after some time away from the class room, and have been looking at the sort of questions I'll be asked for the qualifying comprehensive exam.
I'm starting to panic a little.
Obviously, I'm going to hit the books hard in a number of subjects. I was thinking of buying a number of Schaum outlines in various subjects (Mechanics, Langrangian mechanics, Thermodynamics, etc), since they're substantially less expensive than a lot of textbooks, and using them to supplement library books.
Is this a bad idea? Are Schaum's too low a level for this sort exam.
Thanks.
