Classical What are the Best Physics and Math Books for Electrical Engineering Students?

AI Thread Summary
For students entering electrical engineering, recommended physics books include "Purcell" and "Griffiths" for Electricity and Magnetism, which are well-regarded for their clarity and depth. For Classical Mechanics, "Taylor's Classical Mechanics" is often suggested for its comprehensive approach beyond Calculus 2. In terms of Electrical Circuits, "Fundamentals of Electric Circuits" by Alexander and Sadiku is a solid choice. For math, "Calculus" by James Stewart is favored for Calculus 3, while "Elementary Differential Equations" by Boyce and DiPrima is a popular option for differential equations. Additionally, having a solid foundation from a two-semester freshman physics course, such as one using Halliday and Resnick, is beneficial for understanding these advanced topics.

This fall I'm going to the university of electrical engineering and I am looking for some good physics and math books concerning the following topics:
Physics
-Classical Mechanics ( level above Calculus 2)
- Electricity and Magnetism ( level above calculus 2)
-Electrical cirtcuits (specially oriented)
Math
-Calculus 3
-Differential equations
Best ones you can think of, like Purcell or Grifiths for EM which do you recommend?
Something you might add?

Have you taken two semesters (three quarters) of freshman physics from a book like Halliday and Resnick?

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...
