Hi!
I have academic background in math - optimization, stats, machine learning & have programming skills. I am considering to specialize in optimization for energy industry. What resources could you recommend to get started? Are there any solid textbooks on physics / engineering that you would recommend?<p>Thanks!
For general physics I'd recommend Feynman's Lectures, which with your background may be too basic, I don't know.<p>Engineering wise I'd recommend Horowitz' Art of Electronics.<p>Aside from that there's so many resources available these days that's it's hard for me recommend one thing but I'd say start collecting sources online and cross referencing.<p>I know there's a lot of optimization and programming within designing microgrids and battery systems.<p>So with your background I'd say you're already 70-90% there and the background on theory that the above mentioned books ought to help you with would get you pretty far aside from very particular things.<p>Hope that helps!
