BOOKS TO CARRY

Here is a list of books which is just a suggestion for what you might need when you are here.
If you manage to have them or you can find Indian editions or you can find some second hand bookstores then you could try to get them.
Books are heavy so don't overload.


Disclaimer: Please note that this list is provided only to help as a ready reference. The best thing is always to contact directly your seniors
at Oregon State or elsewhere and get the names of books that are more relevant to your department and your research area of interest.
The Student Contacts for various departments that are listed here can be a good starting point to getting in touch with your seniors regarding this.
