Dan Dan The Android Man

The series was originally developed in the 1950s by Daniel Schaum, son of eastern European immigrants, and has continued as a perennial aid to students to this day. Titles are continually revised to reflect current educational standards in their fields, including updates with new information, additional samples, the use of calculators and computers, etc. New titles are introduced in emerging fields (e.g. abstract algebra, genetics).

Despite being marketed as a supplement, several Schaum's Outlines have become widely used as primary textbooks (the Discrete Math and Statistics titles are examples) for courses. This is particularly true in settings where an important factor in the selection of a text is the price, such as in community colleges.

Schaum's Outlines are a staple in the educational sections of retail bookstores, where books on topics such as chemistry and calculus may be found. Many titles on advanced topics are also available, such as complex variables and topology, but these are typically not found in retail stores.

Schaum's Outlines are noted for their high quality and low price. The titles feature noted authors in their respective fields, such as Murray R. Spiegel and Seymour Lipschutz. Originally, the series was designed for college-level students as a supplement to a course textbook. As a supplement, each title typically has introductory explanations of topics, plus many fully-worked examples, and further exercises for the student.
