Discussion Overview

The discussion focuses on recommendations for free books, PDFs, and online learning tools related to electrical engineering. Participants share various resources and suggestions for accessing educational materials in this field.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests recommendations for free books and online learning tools in electrical engineering.
  • Another participant suggests "Basic Engineering Circuit Analysis" by J. David Irwin and "An Introduction to Semiconductor Principles" by Donald Neaman as valuable textbooks for electrical engineering students.
  • A different participant points out that MIT offers free online courses in electrical engineering, noting the variability in content such as video lectures and homework sets.
  • A participant challenges the relevance of university courses by stating that they do not fit the request for free books or PDFs.
  • One participant shares a link to Walt Jung's op-amp handbook, describing it as essential for electrical engineers.
  • Another participant provides a link to a directory of e-books related to electrical engineering.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on what constitutes "free" resources, with some focusing on textbooks and others on online courses. No consensus is reached on a definitive list of recommended materials.

Contextual Notes

Some suggestions may depend on specific definitions of "free," and the availability of resources may vary by institution or platform.

What free books/pdfs or online learning tools(encyclopedias/notes) are there on electrical engineering that you recommend?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
i think "Basic Engineering Circuit Analysis by J. DAVID IRWIN (9th Edition)" is best textbook of EE

Also, You had better reading "An introduction to semiconductor principle by Donald Neaman 3rd edition"

It is gift for Electrical engineering student.
 
MIT opened up a number of their courses to everyone for free awhile ago, so I would start there. Each course has a different amount of stuff--some have video lectures, some just homework sets--but I've used a few for physics and they were great. Many other universities have opened up course work for free as well with different platforms. Below is a link to some of MIT's ee courses.

@emplth, i said free books/pdfs. Those aren't free.
