The only one unambiguously acceptable to me would be Young and Freedman. I know it's "just" freshman physics, but damn is that a thorough book. I've had it on my shelf since the beginning of my undergrad and will likely never take it off in order to consult it.

yeah all of those matsci jobs

also that pic is the same shit you post in every thread, and it's not even relevant as there aren't any jobs and that is a contract. compsci and chem, aero, and electrical makes more than you ever will, as well as the MEs that actually can work in their field and know more than you do about ME. kek. purduefag is literally delusional
