Hello, I have 2 maths books-
- Higher Engineering Mathematics, B.S.Grewal, Khanna Publishers
- Finite Geometrics, Peter Dembowski, Springer.
Should I bring them along with me or not?

Also, I hv Organic Chemistry by I.L. Finar. Will it be useful or I should leave it?

Thanks in advance.

[Rohan Khadatkar]

I would suggest bringing the Organic Chemistry one as it would surely help. For maths, there are lecture slides and tutorials which cover most of the maths courses but you can bring in the books for general reference.

Will H C Verma in physics and J D Lee in chemistry will be helpful?
Should i bring them?
what r the books needed in first year in mechanical engineering?

[Urmil]

Bringing JD Lee might be helpful. You could carry it along. As for HC Verma, it might not come in too handy in your courses at IIT.

You will just have one introductory course from your department in your first year : Engineering Mechanics, for Mech and Civil freshers. You will study basics about FBDs, Trusses, Vibrations in the course. More or less a revision of the JEE concepts from Mechanics.

Similarly, every department at IIT Bombay will run an introductory course for freshmen to give them a flavour of their department subjects.

Regards,
Urmil

what about modules that our institute gave us?..
and, fundamentals of physics - Resnick haliday? though it wasnt of much use during preparation..

hi fellows i am completely unaware of computer language , but i heard that we have such a course in 1st semester so i thought of preparing myself for that , in that regard could anyone suggest me good books i have started with some online material and my interest in this topic is growing much so plzz if anyone can suggest me some good books ?

Can I join the nss and still go for the violin classes at the campus?

[Abhinav Rajagopalan]

@Darshan Yadav :
Programming in C++ by Cohoon, will most probably be your prescribed book(anyways that totally depends on your instructor), for CS101 course. It is a good book to read.
It is important to practice programming.
It is just my opinion, but I feel the lab timings are not enough, so make sure you do practice it on a system(in your hostel or  in OSL whenever it is free).

@RAJ
No instructor would generally stop you from taking lessons on an interest basis. But again, this depends on the instructor. I would urge you to choose what you are interested in most as your first option, and when you join the institute, try talking to the Violin instructor and ask if you can sit through the classes.

Thanks sreeta. That helped.

Sir please suggest me some books for chemical engineering

[Prakhar Singh]

Your first year courses are same to all and you'll not have any department course before 3rd semester except a Department Introductory Course in second semester. No need to worry about it for now.

[Shashank Parikh]

wat books do v need 2 gt initially??

[Jim Mathew Kochitty]

It is absolutely fine if you come with no books at all. You will find all your book requirements here, either at the Library or the nearby Bookstores.

That being said, go to this link, check out the books (they are written in blue). If anything matches, bring them along. If you don't have any of these books, just come empty-handed. It's fine. http://gymkhana.iitb.ac.in/~smp/forum/index.php?topic=7.0
