Best engineering books for an undergraduate engineer

AI Thread Summary
An undergraduate engineering student is seeking recommendations for clear and simplified textbooks covering various subjects, including Maths, Electrical, Electronical, Materials, and Energy. The student is particularly focused on improving their understanding of convergence in series and has specific upcoming exam topics such as Calculus, Circuit Analysis, and Differential Equations. Clarification on the difference between electrical and electronical engineering was discussed, with the consensus that they are often used interchangeably. Suggestions included visiting educational resources like Cramster for tailored book recommendations and accessing free downloadable materials. The discussion emphasizes the need for comprehensive yet understandable resources to aid in mastering complex engineering concepts.

I'm an engineering first year and I am looking for the best books relevant to my subject. My course is split up into five components: Maths, Electrical, Electronical, Materials, and Energy. By best books I mean that I am looking for books that explain most of what I need to know in a clear and simplified/easy to understand (as much as it can be) way. Please help me !

Your an undergraduate engineer?

It's not a focused discipline like mechanical, electrical, systems engineer?

Also not sure what the difference between electrical and "electronical" are.

What kind of math are you looking for?

Are you doing all those subjects in one semester or over your entire degree?

Please be more specific and I will be sure to help out further.

For the first two years its general engineering with specialisation in my 3rd and 4th years. I think in most contexts electronical and electrical are used synonymously. With regards to the maths I have K.A.Stroud's books, the main topic I'm looking to improve upon is convergence/absolute convergence/divergence of series..

The topics my exam next term will be on will be:
Calculus 1, Statics, Circuit Analysis 1/2, Vectors and Matrices, Electricity and Magnetism, Materials and Solid Mechanics, Complex Algebra and Fourier Series, Bending and Torsion, and Ordinary Differential Equations.

So any books which you'd recommend that explain these topics in as much a simplified (as much as possible) yet complete way would help me out alot.
 
Step 1. Go to cramster
Step 2. Select your degree type and see what books show up
 
My recommendation: visit this wonderful site.Lots of free books to to download. All of them grouped into "packages" of specific subjects (set theory, logic, calculus, etc...). See the part: "calculus for engineers".

Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'

Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'

I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
