Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around recommendations for books related to engineering physics and engineering mathematics. Participants share their personal experiences with specific texts and suggest options based on depth and clarity of explanation.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests recommendations for good books on engineering physics and chemistry, emphasizing the need for depth and clarity.
  • Another participant recommends "Engineering Mechanics: Statics and Dynamics" by R C Hibbler and "Engineering Electromagnetics" by William H Hayt Jr. as useful texts for engineering physics.
  • A participant clarifies their focus as an electronics student and expresses a lack of need for engineering mechanics, instead asking for suggestions on engineering mathematics.
  • In response, a participant suggests "Advanced Engineering Mathematics" by E. Kreyszig as a highly recommended text and mentions "Engineering Mathematics" by B.S. Grewal as potentially suitable for specific syllabi in India.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants share individual recommendations without indicating a consensus on the best texts, suggesting that multiple views on suitable books exist.

Contextual Notes

Recommendations are based on personal experiences and may depend on specific educational contexts or syllabi.

Recommend a few good or the best books for engineering physics. Even chemistry if you have an idea. Books which go into the depth and well explained are preferred.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Engineering Mechanics: Statics and Dynamics by R C Hibbler.

Engineering Electromagnetics by William H Hayt Jr.(Edit)

these are the two books(in English) I personally used for Engineering Physics.

I'm assuming you meant Hayt. Thanks. I don't think I'll need engineering mechanics. I'm an electronics student.
What do you suggest for engineering mathematics?
 
E. Kreyszig is the best suited and Internationally Recommended text for Engineering Mathematics. but B.S.Grewal, Engineering Mathematics is quite Local in India, may be this suits your syllabus completely. otherwise continue with Kreyszig.
