Schaum’s, in particular, is excellent for self-learners and covers the same topics as Acosta. Let us solve one typical Acosta-style problem from scratch, showing the kind of reasoning a solucionario would provide.
Remember: The ultimate goal is not to have every answer, but to understand quantum mechanics and relativity so deeply that you become your own solucionario.

Let lab be frame S. Particle A moves at u = +0.6c to the right. Particle B moves at v = -0.8c to the left. Relative speed of B as seen from A: Struggle first, verify second, and grow always
Wien’s displacement law: λ_max T = 2.898 × 10⁻³ m·K ⇒ T = (2.898e-3) / (500e-9) ≈ 5,800 K.
A good solucionario would also discuss the Stefan-Boltzmann law for total power radiated. Example problem: “Solve for the ground state energy of an electron in an infinite 1D well of width L = 1 nm.” and Cooper | Classic problems
Two particles approach each other with speeds 0.6c and 0.8c relative to the lab. What is the relative speed?
