Revising High School Material for SAT-like Exams

In summary, the speaker introduces themselves and mentions that SAT-like exams have been introduced in their school. They are looking for an algebra-based book that covers topics such as Newton's mechanics, fluid mechanics, waves, optics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and quantum mechanics. They mention having studied these topics before but need a refresher. They also mention a book, "The Improbable Machine" by Jeremy Campbell, which discusses AI and the Mind. The speaker thanks the forum for moving their post to the appropriate forum.

So, since this is my first post on this forum I'd like to say hello to everyone. This year SAT-like exams are introduced in my school so I want to revise all the material from these 4 years of high-school education. I've tried Serway's book - it's nice, I can understand it completely, but I need an algebra-based book. It would be great if there's a Serway-like algebra book ;). The material is pretty much everything: Newton's mechanics, fluid mechanics, waves, optics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism and a bit of quantum mechanics (maybe I missed something, but you get the idea). I've studied all those topics with no problems, but I can't quite remember everything at the moment :(.

Btw, I hope this is the right forum for this question, thanks in advance :)
No, it's not :( Can someone please move it?

It's an older book, and some of the ideas are a bit obsolete, but it will still make you think. The subject is AI and the Mind. It's called The Improbable Machine by Jeremy Campbell. ISBN 0-671-65711-9
