Looking for a Materials Science Textbook?

Hi, I just wanted to know if anyone has any experience with a textbook that deals with topics like crystals+lattices+symmetries, diffraction, microstructure, mechanical behaviour of materials, etc.? Thanks.

I wish I could remember the textbook that I had in undergrad, but it's been too long. Check out these lecture notes -- they seem to have a lot of good material in them:

I graduated in 2012 with a BS in Mechanical Engineering.

We used this book - that exact edition.
Intro to Mat Science (the course) tends to rely less on math than the next course in mat sci.

It's pretty good but it should be noted that intro to materials science has a few pre-req's: a few quarters of college physics and 2 quarters of calculus I believe.

What are you hoping to use it for?

That looks very nice, I scanned the contents and I think it covers everything! The MatSci course I'm doing is supposed to be self-contained (in that a textbook is not required), however I thought it might be a good idea to borrow a suitable textbook from the library as a reference, just for further reading.

alright! Just an FYI, I didn't use that book for subsequent mat sci courses. If this isn't your first mat sci course, you might need a more advanced book.
