<p>My experience is similar. The textbooks for the junior/senior courses were pretty good. The ones that suck:</p>
<ul>
<li>Calculus Sequence (Edwards & Penney)</li>
<li>Linear Algebra</li>
<li>Differential Equations</li>
<li>Physics Sequence
…needed Schaums outlines on all of them</li>
</ul>
<p>After that…pretty decent books for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Combinatorics</li>
<li>Graph Theory</li>
<li>Optimization/Linear Programming</li>
<li>Modern Physics</li>
</ul>
<p>I had the “still champ” of C-programming books…Kernighan & Ritchie and had the Andrew S. Tanenbaum books for Operating Systems and Computer Networks.</p>
