Good books to help w/ college classes; math, engineering, etc...

[pX]

Alright, I am looking for good books to help me out. Basically for two reasons. One being, the textbook I am using, for example, in electromagnetic fields really sucks. And two, I can't remember jack about PDE/ODE or multi-variable calculus; today in class the prof. did a partial derivative and it blew my mind, 'say what?!?',, and I even made an A in diff eq (2.5 years ago mind you).

I've been hearing that the "Schuam Outlines" are really good, and "problem solvers" by REA are good too.

Anyone have any opinions on this issue?

I have a schaum's outlines on vibrations, never read it though.

Schaums are great. Got me through Calc I and II.

yeah I hear both ways, 'they are awesome',, and 'they are suck'.

i ordered electromag already. wasn't sure about the math ones though.

What math ones are you looking for?

 

[pX]

diff eq,, multi-variable calculus, vector analysis.... would love to find something that combined them all,,,

any one else?

schaum is the way to go his outlines are a great way to refresh your memory.
