Engineering:
Third year math phys and its accompanying book (McQuarrie). It blew my mind when I learned McQuarrie is a chemist.
Engineering's role in society:
Schumacher's "Small is beautiful" and "Guide for the perplexed" was the straw finally broke me free of the technocrat worldview. (Although Illich's argument that a car's average speed is 3mph made me question my love for cars)
- rex_lupi 4y agoChemist here. TIL McQuarrie wrote a mathphys book and engineers read it. His books on Physical chem are exceptional.
- sbaiddn 4y agoI know. I bought his phys chem and his stats thermo when I learned he's a chemist! Id say his math book is his best book too - then again, I love math and don't really appreciate chemistry as much as I should.
