Every good university needs a textbook or two. Below are books I have either read myself or have been highly recommended by others but I have not gotten around to reading them yet. You may not need to read these front to back but skim through them and use them as a reference as needed. Many books these days are digital so that you can read them on your phone, laptop or tablet but I would suggest you purchase books of these type in a hard copy. Should the power go out, books will be of no use unless you have a hard copy.
