PHYS 113

(General Physics I)

This class has one required book:

Since this class uses CAPA for assignments, any other editions of this text will be fine.

Physics, by Cutnell/Johnson/Young.

The current edition is: 11^th edition, ISBN 978-1-119-32634-2.

You are expected to have a paper copy of the textbook.

PHYS 313

(Applied Mechanics)

This class has two required books:

Since this class uses CAPA for assignments, any other editions of this text will be fine.

1. Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Statics, by Beer/Johnston/Mazurek.

The latest edition is: 12^th edition, ISBN 978-1-259-97727-5.

2. Mechanics of Materials, by Beer/Johnston/DeWolf/Mazurek.

The latest edition is: 8^th edition, ISBN 978-1-260-40386-2.

You are expected to have paper copies of each textbook.

PHYS 363

(LabVIEW)

This class has no required books.

If you want a book, here are some recommendations. Obviously, since they're not required, any newer or older editions will be fine.

a. LabVIEW 2009 Student Edition, by R. H. Bishop, ISBN 978-0132141291

b. LabVIEW for Scientists and Engineers, by John Essick, ISBN 978-0190211899

This second book follows our course outline a little more closely than the first.

PHYS 126 (Analyt 2 Lab)

No book is required. The lab manual will distributed to you weekly, for free.

However, you must have the proper quad-ruled notebook. You may re-use your notebook from Analyt 1 Lab, if it still has enough space.

PHYS 314 (Fluids)

Fluid Mechanics, by Frank White is required. The latest edition (I think) is:

8^th edition, ISBN 978-0-07-339827-3.

Since this class uses CAPA for assignments, other editions of this text will be fine!

PHYS 228 (Math Methods)

Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences, by Mary Boas is required:

3rd Edition, ISBN 0-471-19826-9.

Since this class uses CAPA for assignments, other editions of this text will be fine (but other editions are also hard to find, even "used").

PHYS 206 (Scientific Graphics)

This class has no required books. If you want a book about making drawings for Machinists, here is a recommendation:

Technical Drawing, by Giesecke, Mitchell, Spencer, Hill, etc. I think the current edition is the 12^th edition, ISBN 0-13-008183-3.

1. PHYS 228 (Math Methods)

Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences, by Mary Boas is required:

3rd Edition, ISBN 0-471-19826-9.

Since this class uses CAPA for assignments, other editions of this text will be fine (but other editions are also hard to find, even "used").

2. PHYS 332 (Circuits)

Principles and Applications of Electrical Engineering, by G. Rizzoni & J. Mark Kearns (6th edition, Wiley; ISBN 978-0-07-352959-2) is required.

You may also use other editions, since assignments will use CAPA.

3. PHYS 332 (Analyt 2 Lab)

No book is required. The lab manual will distributed to you weekly, for free.

However, you must have the proper quad-ruled notebook. You may re-use your notebook from Analyt 1 Lab, if it still has enough space.

4. PHYS 341 (Seminar)

This class has no required books.
