Fundamentals of Physics - Halliday-Resnick-Walker

(with solution)
Description: This text continues to outperform the competition year after year, and the new edition will be no exception. Intended for Calculus-based Physics courses, the 6th edition of this extraordinary text is a major redesign of the best-selling 5th edition, which still maintains many of the elements that led to its enormous success.
Jearl Walker adds his unique style to this edition with the addition of new problems designed to capture, and keep, students’ attention. Nearly all changes are based on suggestions from instructors and students using the 5th edition, from reviewer comments, and from research done on the process of learning. The primary goal of this text is to provide students with a solid understanding of fundamental physics concepts, and to help them apply this conceptual understanding to quantitative problem solving.

The principal goal of Halliday-Resnick-Walker is to provide instructors with a tool by which they can teach students how to effectively read scientific material and successfully reason through scientific questions.

An Introduction to Fiber Optics: A. Ghatak, K. Thyagarajan

Description: This book serves as a relatively good introduction to fiber optics. The book has a rather thorough derivation of the theoretical modes in waveguides and fibers for different index profiles, but is more weak on the experimental side e.g. scattering mechanisms for light is only discussed briefly.
On the whole, the book can be recommended as an introduction, but probably not as a stand-alone reference. The by far largest drawback of the book is the index or rather lack of index. Considering the large amount of information presented in the book, the index is almost non-existent. This seriously impairs using the book as a reference handbook.

Modern Physics for Engineers

Description: Author: Jasprit Singh

Linking physics fundamentals to modern technology-a highly applied primer for students and engineers

Reminding us that modern inventions-new materials, information technologies, medical technological breakthroughs-are based on well-established fundamental principles of physics, Jasprit Singh integrates important topics from quantum mechanics, statistical thermodynamics, and materials science, as well as the special theory of relativity. He then goes a step farther and applies these fundamentals to the workings of electronic devices-an essential leap for anyone interested in developing new technologies.


From semiconductors to nuclear magnetic resonance to superconducting materials to global positioning systems, Professor Singh draws on wide-ranging applications to demonstrate each concept under discussion. He downplays extended mathematical derivations in favor of results and their real-world design implication, supplementing the book with nearly 100 solved examples, 120 figures, and 200 end-of-chapter problems.

Modern Physics for Engineers provides engineering and physics students with an accessible, unified introduction to the complex world underlying today’s design-oriented curriculums. It is also an extremely useful resource for engineers and applied scientists wishing to take advantage of research opportunities in diverse fields.
