| No book is perfect and therefore it is inevitable that readers get stuck somewhere. That's why it's often incredibly helpful to read the thing the authors wants to express formulated in different terms. Sometimes such alternative formulations exist in the form of **reading notes**, which are notes that someone took while reading the book. Here we collect such notes and in addition, **solutions for textbook problems** and **answers to frequently asked questions**. | No book is perfect and therefore it is inevitable that readers get stuck somewhere.

| + | While a [[about|main idea of this travel guide]] is that physics is best learned in a self-directed manner, a little guidance is never harmful. Especially, because it happens often that beginner students get lost and can't see the forest for the trees. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For this reason, we collect here roadmaps. These are rough guides that explain which topics and resources are essential to understand a given topic and outline possible ways to tackle to subject. | ||
| + | |||
| + | There is no perfect roadmap that is a good fit for everyone. Therefore it's crucial that everyone finds a roadmap which matches his/her style. | ||
