Books to Carry

Here is a list of books required by courses in popular departments. This is only a list of the more popular courses and does not represent the entire gamut of courses which can be taken. For all the books listed here try to get the latest editions. Before you check them out, here are a few pointers. 1) Firstly, generally speaking, books are expensive here. So try and get some that you'll need from India. 2) Also, don't go overboard in trying to get them. After all, they are readily available here. 3) Finally, there are no guarantees about the lists we've provided. They're only meant to help you. The books used depend on the instructor and may vary from semester to semester.
