AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around self-teaching engineering courses during the summer, specifically referencing MIT's course offerings: 6.001 (Introduction to Electrical Engineering and Computer Science), 6.002 (Circuits and Electronics), 6.041 (Probabilistic Systems Analysis), and 6.042J (Mathematical Methods for Engineers). Participants express a preference for resources that complement these courses, emphasizing the integration of electrical engineering and computer science in MIT's curriculum. The conversation also touches on the stereotype that engineers do not read, with a light-hearted comment about the perception of engineers in general. The focus remains on finding suitable books to effectively learn the material from these courses.

Suggested books-- engineering

I want to teach myself some engineering courses this summer, so I'm including a link to the MIT course guide and I want suggestions on what books to learn the material from for the following courses:
6.001, 6.002, 6.041, 6.042J.

i didn't know engineers could read. (harhar hyar!) (my brother was one.)
 
One thing I like about MIT and schools that follow in the same path is that you get to do electrical engineering and computer science by default.
 

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
