-    * Principles of Semiconductors is a good web book by Bart Van Zeghbroeck of Univ. Colorado.  Google his name and you'll find the link.  The Wiki wouldn't let me link to it for reasons I don't understand.+    * Principles of Semiconductors is a good web book by Bart Van Zeghbroeck of Univ.

 +===== Mathematica ===== 
 +Mathematica (by Wolfram) is one of several extremely useful software programs that is useful for simple visualization of functions, computer-aided algebra, and is also a vehicle for very sophisticated programming.  I highly recommend you use it for classwork, for research and for fun.  As an OSU student, you have access via OSU's virtual lab, called "Umbrella".  [[http://www.physics.oregonstate.edu/~tate/COURSES/ph424/Mathematica_info.html|Here]] is a link to a page I wrote for my PH424 physics class describing how to get access, how to use Wolfram's fantastic documentation and tutorials, and I added a few simple templates. 
 + 
 +Here are some Mathematica notebooks that I wrote that are relevant to PH575.
