A good companion to any freshman physics text. A head-first approach will likely appeal to the engineer.

Test your basic physics knowledge with the outstanding Schaum's outline and its problems.

Prereq to understanding communication theory, which is next. If you are trying to understand the premise and scope of signals and systems theory, look no farther. Hsu hit a home run in the materials--especially selection of problems--and their arrangement. To get the most out of this text, you will need to understand your calculus and your calculus-based physics backwards and forwards.

Physicists need a knowledge of this subject. Made for undergrads to master control systems concepts in both state-space and transform domains. Generally, it lacks a lot of details in state-space area though. Assumes a background in basic ODE and the Laplace transform, which engineers should already have.

Topics include theory of vector spaces, analytic function theory, Green's function method of solving ODE's and PDE's, theory of groups, and more. Assumes mathematical maturity.

Starts with the required math and contains many examples & solved problems. You must have a firm foundation in EM for further study in physics.

Comprehensive treatment of optics from waves through fourier optics. Learn EM first.

After learning general optics, see how Fourier optics is applied to imaging and communications.

Numerous exercises and worked solutions. Starting with classical mechanics and electromagnetics, teaches quantum mechanics to engineering students. See also ISBN 0471202762 by Hagelstein.

Contains 100 problems with worked solutions that illustrate key concepts in quantum mechanics. Material introducing each concept is included.

Learn about the fastest computing machines in existence. An accessible guide for the total beginner to this subject. Assumes mathematical maturity.

Essential since physicists almost always work with computing platforms. A good book on computer architecture that lies between Hennessy & Patterson and the elementary "How Computers Work" books. It discusses computer architecture plus specifics on current and next generation microprocessors that will power personal computers of the future.

Good introductory book on Computational Physics. Projects proposed cover different difficulties so it can be used for college students at all levels. Concepts are well explainded. Introduces areas including linear & nonlinear systems, normal modes and waves, electrodynamics, chaos, complexity, and quantum mechanics, with programs in Java.

detailed development of the Navier-Stokes equations. Explains mathematics behind different flows. Finally shows engineering apps of all of this. Prereq is PDE's and computational physics.

Good explanations sprinkled with doable problems, and we all know engineers love problems. Start your relativity studies here.

After special relativity, vector calculus, and electrostatics. A detailed study of the theory's most important applications - neutron stars, black holes, gravitational waves, and cosmology.

Applies acoustics and physical modeling to the modeling of musical instruments, rooms, and the outdoors. Good supplement to your acoustics knowledge.

This was devised as a self-study course for nonlinear systems. Supplement the previous item with the worked problems in this text.

All physicists should know about instrumentation. Talks about the physics and application of every sensor imaginable. Most texts take a technician's viewpoint,but this one assumes you are a scientist.
