I've split the books into the following categories. Click on a category for the list of books.
Chemical Engineering
C++
Electrical Engineering
Flight Simulation
Numerical Methods
Visual Basic
I've rated each book according to it's readability; it's content rating; it's presentation of the maths involved, if applicable; the quality of worked examples; the quality of code examples. The rating scales are as follows;
Readability
 |  | | Very formal writing, poor layout or content not well explained, |
|  | | Readable, but poor layout or content not well explained, |
|  | | Readable, well laid-out, content well explained, |
|  | | An enjoyable read. Informal style, well laid-out, content well explained, |
Content
|  | | An introduction to the topic, but other books are required for a complete understanding, |
|  | | An intermediate level of detail. An introductary work would be required if you're new to the subject, but a more advanced books would still be required for a complete understanding, |
|  | | Covers the topic from a beginners’ through to an intermediate level, |
|  | | Covers the topic at an advanced level. An intermediate or even introductary work would be required if you're new to the subject, |
|  | | Covers the topic from an intermediate to an advanced level. An introductary work would be required if you're new to the subject, |
|  | | Covers the topic from a beginners’ to an advanced level, |
Worked Examples
|  | | None, |
|  | | Partial for some topics, |
|  | | Full for some topics, |
| |  | | Partial for all topics, |
|  | | Full for all topics, |
Mathematics Presentation
| | | No explaination of the equations used. You'll need to be a maths whizz to understand, |
| | | Some explaination of equations used. A bit of struggle to get through if your not good at maths, |
| | | Some basic maths, |
| | | Equations used are well developed and explained. |
Code Examples
As there are so many combinations for the quality of the code examples, I've used a text description.
Accuracy (typographical, factual and programming)
|  | | A large number of inaccuracies, |
|  | | some inaccuracies, |
|  | | none / very few inaccuracies. |
