hi guys i am currently pursuing a civil engineering degree from Liu
We really have little material(Our books are not books but sometimes compendiums of 50 pages) for study and most of the things are covered in examples that the teacher gives us (That sucks, in case you can't come sometime, or if the teacher is difficult to understand at times.. OR if the class room is an entire opera hall, yeah really)
Most of the times teachers don't want to go through things thoroughly as in referring to where they got the things from, or some good theory behind it, they just give you a formula without really explaining what it is (Which we would be able to understand better if we had hardback books). My (and my class mates major problem) is that we don't have enough problems to solve in terms of theory and practical problems (Filling out protocols, and other problems with different formulas)
I must admit that I think many teachers here sound quite fishy, and that they are not at all specialized in their subjects (except for math teachers) and that they are simply getting paid for sitting in their office waiting for students to ask something (Which really doesn't happen, because most of the time it's not worth asking)
Well before I wrote this post I asked my teacher about other books but he said he didn't have any or could refer to any (He was simply not interested in helping me).. Now I have two questions
11. I am looking for a basic geodesy freshman engineering book that has a lot of problems to solve, and theory that explains things thoroughly .. yes THOROUGHLY
[SIZE="5"] 2. a Mechanics book(s) thats brief and explain things in an easy manner and way, that just doesn't simply give us examples before explaining what the different terms are.
Our mechanics teacher is and 70+ teacher which we can't hear properly when we sit in the opera hall of ours(at such a far distance from him), and whats great!(not) he doesn't write anything on the board.. he just simply points at the overhead "yay" :confused:.. that I guess is why 70% of last years student flunked I believe.. ehm
I want a book that explains "How to use" "Why to use" and "When to use" things such a force moment, and other things.. as it's not explained in our swedish book! doh.. /SIZE]
I don't want to have something overrated material for physics engineers, in professor language with highly rated IQ.. I want to be able to pass my mechanics exam without a make up.
