"This text not only provides students with a good theoretical understanding of the electromagnetic field equations, it also treats a large number of applications. In fact, no topic is presented unless it is directly applicable to engineering design or unless it is needed for the understanding of another topic. In electrostatics, for example, the text includes discussions of photocopying, ink-jet printing, electrostatic separation and deposition, paint spraying, and powder coating. In magnetism, the applications discussed include electric motors and generators, permanent magnets, nuclear magne

…Computer Architecture by Harris and Harris (A RISC V Edition will release soon in 2-3 months, buy that one) For Electronic circuits choose Microelectronics by Behzad Razavi. Instead of Purcell go for "Engineering Electromagnetics with Ida", it is more intuitive. And th first book you should start with is "Foundations of Analog and Digital Electronic Circuits" Then you go for DDCA and Ida in parallel. The list does give me head…
on “My self-study plan for electrical engineering” ↗…electronics devices and circuits - I personally recommend 'Electronic Devices and circuits / Integrated Electronics by J. Millman and C. Halkias (This is actually a textbook) In case you want to learn Engineering Electromagnetics, great textbook by William Hayt and John Buck Haven't yet read any other awesome basic textbook on 'Computer Networks' like the one by Andrew S. Tanenbaum 'Digital Signal Processing' by Oppenheim and…
on “Ask HN: What are the best textbooks in your field of expertise?” ↗I was recommended Nathan Ida's Engineering Electromagnetics as being comprehensive in that all the necessary Mathematics is introduced in place as needed. Lookup the reviews for this book on the web. Perhaps somebody who has read this book can comment in more…
on “Why is Maxwell's theory so hard to understand? (2007) [pdf]” ↗…classmates in RF were all using Balanis for their RF and Antenna design courses, which clearly comes before the level of EM where most people are working (suffering?) through Jackson, or Balanis's 'Advanced Engineering Electromagnetics'.
