Going from Introductory to Advanced
Ive read two different general physics books in Hallidays and Randall Knights, finished with A’s in all 3 general physics classes, and recently taken a classical mechanics course where i just barely passed. Most of my issue comes from reading textbooks like ours was Taylors book and most the time, if it wasnt something i saw in general physics, i was absolutely confused and the majority of my learning came from lectures and the very few office hours i can rarely make due to work. Also reading griffiths e&m book, for the past 2 weeks have been stuck on chapter 2. I feel like the book isnt for me and lacks what i need to learn such as explanations at almost every step being the biggest one (not necessarily showing all math steps but at least a conceptual explanation as why certain things are being done) . Are there really any books like that in upper division physics or am i just stuck
