I really appreciate your recommendation.

I did not major in physics, but I have studied and applied linear algebra and have fairly good intuition for it.

It seems to me then that I should study some intermediate physics (books or courses) before studying the Schumacher book. Do you have any recommendations for that? Thanks in advance.

Learning a bit of Quantum Mechanics is going to be more helpful than anything else in physics to understand quantum computing.

Introduction to Quantum Mechanics by Griffiths is a standard undergrad text. The math is all "simple" (linear algebra and calculus). It's the learning a new way to think about the world that's the hard part.

Thank you!
