Engineering Material Science Books for Mechanical Engineering

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the search for a suitable book on material science that can be applied to mechanical engineering. The book "Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction" by Callister is considered, with the user expressing familiarity with its 3rd edition but questioning its relevance compared to the latest 10th edition. Another book mentioned is "Materials: Engineering, Science, Processing and Design" by Ashby, prompting a comparison between the two texts. The focus is on finding a resource that effectively bridges material science and mechanical engineering principles.

Hello,

I'm looking for a book that explains the subject of material science so that I can apply that knowledge to mechanical engineering. I was wondering if Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction by Callister might be a good choice. Could that book help me in mechanical engineering? Or should I consider another book such as Materials: Engineering, Science, Processing and Design by Ashby?

Thank you!

I used and liked the 3rd edition of Callister, but since it is on the 10th, I am no longer sure if that judgment still holds today.
 

Thread 'Complex analysis or calculus?'

Im currently reading mathematics for physicists by Philippe Dennery and André Krzywicki, and I’m understanding most concepts however I think it would be better for me to get a book on complex analysis or calculus to better understand it so I’m not left looking at an equation for an hour trying to figure out what it means. So here comes the split, do I get a complex analysis book? Or a calculus book? I might be able to Borrow a calculus textbook from my math teacher study that for a bit and...
