    It turns out that this is a part of an entire series of textbooks focused on semiconductors. https://www.worldscientific.com/series/neelns

    As the editors note, this series is meant to be an intellectual successor to the Semiconductor Electronics Education Committee (SEEC) books that were published in the 1960s.

    The best class I took in EE school was the 400 level course on this material.

    Mathematically had us working from Schrödinger to LEDs and Transistors over the course of 4 months. Changed my whole perspective on shit.

    Prof. Lundstrom is a giant in semiconductors and it’s exciting to see him publish this book.

    As someone unfamiliar with this field, I'm amazed at how readable this is. Must be a great professor.

    This would be both math and physics and chemistry?

      Often you would study this type of material in Electrical or Computer Engineering.
