Surely you must choose :
-Linear Control Systems
-Linear Control Systems Laboratory
-Remote Sensing in Eng.: Science, Sensors, & App.
which are closely related to robotics, indeed controls engineering is the core of robotics systems, and additionally in robotics there is an extensive use and study of sensors and technology related to it...
 
TL;DR: Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? Hi, I want to learn ultrafast optics and I am interested in condensed matter physics, ie using ultrafast optics in condensed matter systems. However, before I get onto ultrafast optics I need to improve my electrodynamics knowledge. Should I study Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? My level at the moment is Griffiths. Given my interest in ultrafast optics in condensed matter, I am not sure which book is better suited for me. If...
