As the title,

Anyone know any good readable intro book of material science, especially dealing with electronic materials(semiconductors,etc.)?

I am a Physics major in sophomore year..
I took Calc 1-3, linear algebra, ODE and some intro EM and modern physics
 
Physics news on Phys.org
You can probably have a look at:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0071244581/?tag=pfamazon01-20

The accompanying CD contains additional solved exercises.Edit: I just read that you're a physics major, this book is really introductory and doesn't go deep, it isn't on par with any of the texts in solid state physics.

well, it's ok I guess..
I only need an intro book for some research project
 
I had to use the newer version of Kasap (who is a professor at my university), and I really did not like the textbook. There is a lot information, but the math is severely lacking, along with proofs.
