Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding a suitable English-language book on the topic of "DEMARRAGE DES MOTEURS" (starting motors), particularly in the context of electrical machines. Participants express varying levels of frustration and seek resources to aid in their learning of the subject in French.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Homework-related
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests recommendations for a good English book on the topic of starting motors, as they find it easier to understand in English.
  • Another participant questions the necessity of learning in French if the goal is to understand the topic better, suggesting that the focus should be on improving French language skills.
  • A different participant expresses frustration with the previous comments and insists on the need for an English book rather than judgment on their language skills.
  • Some participants mention that the course title "Electrical Machines" may not be clear and inquire about the specific author of the book being sought.
  • One participant shares links to two books they used in a course on electrical machines, suggesting they might align with the syllabus of the original poster.
  • Another participant clarifies that "DEMARRAGE DES MOTEURS" is a topic within a course called "AUTOMATISME" in French and emphasizes the need for a book that covers that specific area in English.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express disagreement regarding the relevance of language proficiency to the topic at hand. While some focus on the need for resources, others emphasize the importance of language skills, leading to an unresolved discussion about the best approach to learning the material.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations regarding the clarity of the course title and the specific resources available, as well as the varying levels of language proficiency among participants, which may affect their ability to find suitable materials.

Judging by your command of English, I don't think you'll find a translation any easier. Why are you learning in French? Is it to give you a better command of French? Then the point isn't the topic, it's learning French.
 


look... u are adding me stress... a book in English would do better than your judgement. Please if u think or know that u don't know a book on MOTORS don't reply..

Thank you and i am sorry if i am hurting anyone..

Frankly, I met many people worldwide with a not so good command of English, however they seemed to get by academically just fine. I don't see the point in going out of context here.@ Thread starter: you're looking for a book on Electrical Machines (the course title is not that clear) ?

@ Moderators: please move this topic to the "Science Book Discussion" sub-forum.

It's not his command of English that I'm curious about, it's his willful disregard for the properties of language. At issue here is his seeming inability to translate a text from French to (presumably) his native English. His native English is clearly lacking, so the point of this thread escapes me.

However:

A cursory search of amazon and google doesn't even show the existence of the book. Who is the author?

I would second respecting the punctuation and language rules, but you know,, its a secondary issue.
The reason that nothing on search engines comes up, is that the course title is really weird and unusual.
 


thanks to PHYSIKER. @ angry whatever, that is not the name of a book, its only a topic in a the course called AUTOMATISME (in french), so i was thinking that it would be wise to get a book that will treat that part(demarrage des moteurs) in english as i got one for Digital Electronics when i was doing it.
