Basic References
Though the reader can consult the following books; the contents of the e-book course may often differ in the rigour and details from these and other books. Materials Science and Engineering (5th Edition) V. Raghavan Prentice-Hall of India Pvt. Ltd., 2004.
Callister's Materials Science and Engienering William D Callister (Adapted by R. Balasubramaniam) Wiley Inida (P) Ltd., 2007. The Science and Engineering of Materials Donald. R. Askeland & Pradeep Phul Cengage Learning, 2006.
Guidelines to Readers
The contents have been developed such that most of the material is in the form of figures, flow charts, video graphics and less is in the form of text. Hence, instead of saying happy reading we wish you happy viewing!
Since concepts are presented in presentation mode, READ EVERY LINE AND EVERY WORD
A note on the platform chosen for presentation Windows (XP) based applications have been used to develop the course material. These include: Word, Excel and Powerpoint (2003 versions)
Users of Linux and other platforms may use the pdf version of the Word and Powerpoint files. Additionally, students not having access to Microsoft Office may use the OpenOffice freeware to open the MS office files: http://www.openoffice.org/ (download and install: http://download.openoffice.org/)
(there might be some losses in conversion- which is usually not major if Office 2003 is used along with Open Office 3.1)
