Lecture Notes in Science and Engineering

Do you feel that the average undergraduate course does not need a 900-page textbook costing $200 ? You are not alone.

Lecture Notes in Science and Engineering was created to provide textbook-quality lecture notes at a fraction of the cost of a regular textbook.

Our Vision

Textbooks are usually written by professors for professors, lecture notes are usually written by students for students. What's missing in this picture is a product written by professors for students. The books offered on this site are exactly that. And that means the following:

• Factual. The books are as factually correct as any textbook.
• Concise. The books are designed to cover the contents of oneundergraduate course, not less, not more.
• Effective. Whenever possible, the books employ a problem-based learning approach.
• Affordable.The books are priced proportionally to their size.
• Pleasant. The lay-out of the books is chosen for reading and studying comfort.

By offering the books for sale through online retailers, we maximize reach while minimizing distribution costs.

Who We Are
