Engineering Materials Science Introduction Book?

AI Thread Summary
Materials science is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles of physics and chemistry to study the properties and applications of materials. For a high school student with basic knowledge in these subjects, it is possible to start exploring materials science. Recommended resources include introductory textbooks like Callister's "Materials Science and Engineering," which provide foundational concepts. Additionally, online courses, educational videos, and science websites can offer accessible information to build a stronger understanding of the field. Engaging in hands-on experiments and projects can also enhance learning and interest in materials science.

"Materials Science?" Bit of an "oxymoron," wouldn't you think?
 
I just flipped through its pages, but... Callister, maybe?

sorry if my question is vague, but I only have high school level understanding of sciences, but I'm interested in materials science and would like to learn more, so if with my knowledge it's not possible to actually study materials science, could you point me where I could go to get some background knowledge needed for it?

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
