X Section - BTech First Year Physics (Chemical Engineering Stream)

Welcome to all the new students of Chemical Engineering Branch (you will be making up the X section), I will be teaching you PHL 103 first year physics theory core course for this semester

Your Classes will be in Class Room Complex (CRC) - Lecture Theatre CRC 6-2 (sixth floor) and your CLASS TIMINGS WILL BE:

Tuesday - 4 pm to 5 pm

Wednesday - 4 pm to 5 pm

Friday - 5 pm to 6 pm

THE REFERENCE BOOKS FOR THIS COURSE WILL BE

1. Quantum Mechanics for Scientists and Engineers by David Miller (Cambridge University Press) - for a conceptual approach

2. Modern Physics by Kenneth Krane (Wiley) - good time tested book

3. A Textbook of Engineering Physics by Avadhanalu and Kshirasagar  (S.Chand and Co.) - beware of printing and conceptual errors!

4. Semiconductor Physics and Devices by Donald Neamen - a nice book on the subject.

5. Lasers: Fundamentals and Applications by Ajoy Ghatak and K. Thyagarajan (Springer Graduate Texts in Physics) - an excellent book for a good understanding of the subject

My course notes (which I teach in class) will be an important reference for a conceptual understanding of various topics.

For those who are interested to know more about physics in general in a very refreshing way, you can enjoy reading the book "ONE, TWO, THREE... INFINITY" by George Gamow. This is not the course book for this course but it is a nice coffee table book to have a good grasp of the subject in depth. This book has the speciality of producing as many as 5 to 6 Nobel prize winners in physics !!
