Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around recommendations for books on advanced engineering mathematics specifically for computer engineering (ComE). Participants explore the relevance and application of mathematics in computer engineering compared to other engineering disciplines.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory
- Technical explanation
- Debate/contested
Main Points Raised
- One participant inquires about book recommendations for advanced engineering mathematics in ComE and questions the mathematical requirements in the field.
- Another participant suggests that the mathematics required for computer engineering is similar to that for electrical engineering (EE) majors, noting differences in course requirements between ComE and computer science (CS) majors.
- A participant mentions using Kreyzig's "Advanced Engineering Mathematics" for engineering courses, highlighting its strengths in linear algebra, ordinary differential equations (ODEs), and statistics, but notes its lack of coverage in discrete mathematics relevant to computer engineering.
- Another participant recommends "The Art of Electronics" for electronics engineering and emphasizes the necessity of engaging deeply with mathematics in engineering studies.
- A participant points out the existence of multiple books with the same title as the thread, suggesting they are well-regarded as accessible references for advanced engineering mathematics.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants express differing views on the mathematical intensity of computer engineering courses compared to other engineering disciplines, and there is no consensus on specific book recommendations for discrete mathematics.
Contextual Notes
Some participants mention the variability in course requirements and the potential influence of elective choices on the mathematical rigor experienced in computer engineering.
