Michael E Browne - Physics for Engineering and Science - Schaum's outline

Physics for Engineering and Science covers lot of physics from classical mechanics to electromagnetism, from thermodynamics to quantum mechanics. It has 37 chapters covering various topics. In each chapter the author explained theory first and then worked out problems related to that. Really good book to refresh or relearn the subject. Midway I completed Professor Walter Lewin's video lecture on physics. That made it easy to follow this book.
When it came to special relativity and quantum mechanics felt little bit difficult to follow. No wonder why school kids tend to mug up the physics phenomenon on formula basis. To get a holistic view need to put lot of effort and need to refer various books.
But overall I believe I got a decent grip on most of physics phenomena.
