Nottingham Engineering Reading List

Hi Guys, I am holding an Unconditional for 2016/17 (Deferred) to do M3 Engineering and would really like to get a bit of a jump on the course given that I will have been out of school for a year.
Does anyone know of either an official reading list or a list of textbooks commonly used in first year?
Any info would be great,
Thanks
Sam

Just started my first year doing Mech Eng ...I've bought four so far on the advice of lecturers, although we're not expected to read them all cover to cover. They're for extra reading and we're often given a few pages to look at as we cover certain topics in a lecture.

Richard Brooks and 2 more
An Introduction to Mechanical Engineering: Part 1: Pt. 1

Michael Clifford
An Introduction to Mechanical Engineering: Part 2: Pt. 2

Russell C. Hibbeler
Mechanics of Materials


Russell C. Hibbeler
Engineering Mechanics: Statics

Another thing you could do to get ahead would be to start looking at Matlab (there's links online via MathWorks I think).

Congrats on your place at Nottingham...I'm so glad I chose to come here.

I firmed an unconditional offer for Chemical engineering. Anyone have any good books or advice to help ease the transition from Alevels into university?

Same here man, I asked the people at the ChemEng department and they said that you should just be up to scratch with A2 Chemistry and Physics. I dropped Physics at A2 but I've had a look at it and it's a lot more nicer than the circuits bs at AS.

Thanks bro, I guess I'll try to get myself up to scratch with Alevel physics then. I haven't done physics at AS or A2.
