Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the textbooks used in the Nuclear Engineering department at MIT, with participants sharing their experiences and seeking information about current materials and resources in the program.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the availability of contact with current or former Nuclear Engineering students at MIT to learn about their textbooks.
  • Another participant recalls using "Nuclear Reactor Analysis" by Allan F. Henry and "The Atomic Nucleus" by Robley Evans during their studies at MIT.
  • A participant mentions using "Introduction to Nuclear Reactor Theory" by John Lamarch and expresses uncertainty about its use at MIT.
  • One contributor suggests checking class websites for required textbooks, indicating that this is a common practice at many schools.
  • A later reply notes that while "Introduction to Nuclear Reactor Theory" is a standard text, it is not primarily used at MIT, where it is considered a supplemental text.
  • Another participant speculates that current textbooks may include works by Duderstadt and Hamilton.
  • A link to MIT's OpenCourseWare for Nuclear Engineering is provided as a resource for syllabi and course materials.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express varying experiences with textbooks, with some agreeing on the use of certain texts while others highlight differences in current practices at MIT. The discussion does not reach a consensus on the specific textbooks currently in use.

Contextual Notes

The Prince,

About 30 years ago; we used "Nuclear Reactor Analysis" by MIT's Allan F. Henry.
Great professor - too bad he's no longer with us.

I also recall "The Atomic Nucleus" by Robley Evans, also of MIT.

MIT - great place to study - what else do you want to know?

Hey Dr.Greenman,

Thanks for your quick responed. Yep , We use this textbook as well since our Professor is one of Prof. Henry's students . I really face some problems since we were using "Introduction to Nuclear Reactor Theory" by John Lamarch. I wounder if they use it in MIT? .

Most schools have web sites for each class, and these websites normally list required textbooks.

I'm one of Professor Henry's students myself. Perhaps I know your Prof.

Larmarswh is a standard text - practically everyone uses it - but not at MIT.
It was mentioned as a supplemental text.

I would bet they use something like Duderstadt and Hamilton now.
