新学期开始了，理工的小朋友们是不是对于如何适应理工的课程，如何了解专业知识感到有点迷茫呢？为此，我们特意咨询了两位理工学院的教授，且一并提供了一些去年的信息，供同学们参考。

Simon Pun（潘文安）

……if you are trying to find books in addition to the textbooks for freshmen for each course, then the course outline should have already made the recommendation. For instance, for Calculus 1, I have put down something like the following in the course outline.

However, if you are looking for more general reading recommendation for EIE or CS students, then the answer is much more complicated. This is because EIE and CS have many exciting and interesting areas. You can only find good introductory books specifically written for one particular area, but not for all areas. …… However, I would highly recommend our students to follow the following two groups on WeChat

1. EETOP
2. 程序员的那些事

Especially the first group provides some very high-level introduction to various fields in EIE from time to time.

注：CS指Computer Science计算机科学与技术专业，EIE指Electronic Information Engineering电子信息工程专业

As for freshmen, I suggest they focusing on:

1. English study
   (subject terminology, typically on the back of subject textbooks);
2. Time management
   (there are so many good books talking about that. You may take a look of YouTube: Randy Pausch Lecture: Time Management, you can find his ppt on web too);
3. Finding/consolidating your goals.

As for majors, I suggest students reading “Scientific American” (for sci and tech oriented students) and “Wall street journal”(for finance oriented students) as a habit.

附上张教授去年在Physics课上推荐的两册书：

1. 杨维纮 – 力学与理论力学（上册）
2. Richard Feynman – The Feynman Lectures on Physics

以及去年教授Calculus的周宪教授推荐给学有余力的同学们的，关于数学分析的书单：

1. Walter Rudin – Principles of Mathematical Analysis
2. 卢丁 – 数学分析原理（中文版）
3. 菲赫金哥尔茨 – 数学分析原理
4. 常庚哲、 史济怀 – 数学分析教程（2012-8-1出版）
5. John E. Hutchinson – Introduction To Mathematical Analysis(1994)(Revised by Richard J. Loy 1995/6/7)

希望以上信息对理工新生们有所助益，经管篇和人文篇也即将推出，敬请期待！
