The "electronics" list doesn't include Horowitz & Hill's "The Art of Electronics". It's one of the best, used at some prestigious universities (written by 2 professors at Harvard, used there among others). Sedra/Smith's book "Microelectronic Circuits" is listed, it's the other one I'd mention for a course on the fundamentals of electronics engineering.

Camenzind's "Designing Analog Chips" also deserves mention for people interested in analog IC design. It has a free version on his website: http://www.designinganalogchips.com/

They say that they've actually only listed a random subset of the books some professors recommended, so that may be part of it.

That appears to be correct. If you choose to look at the list first by university rather than by subject, select MIT, then select electronics under MIT, AoE is listed.


Yes, also under Princeton. It's just that it's rather useless to have a set of lists selected by subject if you then randomly exclude items from that list. It's Princeton's only textbook listed for electronics, for instance. That's hardly a small university.

And the lists by University aren't great either. I'm pretty sure Caltech has electronics courses, but it's not even a category there!.


"The Art of Electronics" is listed there: http://www.doradolist.com/princeton-electronics.html


Made a spreadsheet of all of the schools & books, it was harder to scrape the professors:

Cool idea, but poorly implemented website.


I was also confused by the UI, and wasn't sure where I was supposed to click/scroll.


You can click on any of the circles on the website. In the main website click on the 4 horizontal lines.


Very useful list
