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.

Physics news on Phys.org
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.
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
