A book about dark matter and energy

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a request for book recommendations about dark matter and dark energy, particularly suitable for a first-year engineering student. Participants suggest several titles, including "The Dark Matter Problem: A Historical Perspective" by Robert H. Sanders and "Dark Side of the Universe." Another recommended book is "The Four Percent Universe" by Panek. The conversation highlights the need for accessible literature on these complex topics, as well as the limited information available on platforms like Wikipedia.

Hello, since I am very interested in universe, I would like to know something more about dark matter and energy. There are too few information on Wikipedia for instance.

Could you recommend me any great book which can bring me some light about this stuff? I am 1st year engineering student (for appropriate level of literature). E-book doesn't matter to me.

For a book about dark matter (not dark energy), I recommend the book

"The Dark Matter Problem: A Historical Perspective" by Robert H. Sanders.
 
'The Four Percent Universe' by Panek is also a good read.
 
big thanks to all of you
 

Thread 'Hassani's books on Mathematical Physics/Methods'

By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
