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

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on recommended physics and math textbooks for electrical engineering students, specifically targeting Classical Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Electrical Circuits, Calculus 3, and Differential Equations. Key recommendations include "Purcell" and "Griffiths" for Electricity and Magnetism, along with "Halliday and Resnick" for foundational physics. The conversation emphasizes the importance of selecting texts that align with the curriculum and provide a solid understanding of these essential topics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Classical Mechanics at a level above Calculus 2
  • Knowledge of Electricity and Magnetism at a level above Calculus 2
  • Familiarity with Electrical Circuits concepts
  • Basic proficiency in Calculus 3 and Differential Equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Purcell" and "Griffiths" for advanced Electricity and Magnetism concepts
  • Explore "Halliday and Resnick" for foundational physics understanding
  • Investigate textbooks specifically focused on Electrical Circuits
  • Look into resources for Calculus 3 and Differential Equations to reinforce mathematical foundations
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineering students, educators in physics and mathematics, and anyone seeking to enhance their understanding of the mathematical and physical principles essential for electrical engineering.

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?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Have you taken two semesters (three quarters) of freshman physics from a book like Halliday and Resnick?
