Books

The following lists, broken into subject and topics, are books that I have read or used to learn certain subjects. I may end up doing book reviews of some of these and if I do I will hyperlink to those pages. If there are books I have not yet read I will make note of that, although I very likely already own it and have browsed in it a bit. So I feel I can vouch for the quality of the text in some way. I've now expanded this list to include general works of fiction and nonfiction, not necessarily just textbooks.

Measure Theory

Okay, while I have not studied measure theory formally, I plan on doing so using the following book(s). I have the hardcover version, but if you can learn from PDFs well enough, then Axler's book is a good option.

General Physics

Engineering Statics

Engineering Dynamics

Mechanics of Materials

Classical Mechanics

I haven't taken a classical mechanics course, but I used Taylor's text on my own to learn Lagrangian mechanics and some stuff about vibrations. I found it to be very easy to read.

Quantum Mechanics

I want to learn quantum mechanics very badly, but have not had the time to dive into it. These are the books I own and plan to use to accomplish that goal. I have seen glowing reviews for these and so I believe in their value.

Thermodynamics

Fluid Mechanics

Heat Transfer

Nuclear Engineering

These are ones that I have perused a bit, but want to study in detail in the future. So far, I have only made it through Ch. 1 of the first two :/.
