TU Delft Open Textbooks is a platform that contains freely accessible textbooks produced by TU Delft teachers and used in bachelor, master, and online courses at TU Delft. Our catalog contains textbooks in two different formats: open textbooks in PDF or interactive open textbooks. You can find our latest publications below or check out our Open Textbook catalog and our Open Interactive Textbook catalog. The publication processes for a PDF open textbook or an interactive open textbook are different from each other. If you are interested in publishing your own TU Delft Open Textbook, you can learn about the publishing processes on our Information page, or you can contact the open publishing team through our contact page.

In this open textbook, we explore concepts of sensing, noise, and measurement in the dynamics of open quantum systems.
In Introduction to particle and continuum mechanics, we study the classical physics of both collections of particles and continuous media. Taking Newton’s laws of motion as our axioms, we develop the theory of motion without the need for prior knowledge, with a particular focus on the laws of conservation of energy, momentum, and...
Het boek is een algemene introductie in het elektromagnetisme, zoals in de meeste Amerikaanse universiteiten in het eerste jaar wordt gegeven. Uiteindelijk worden de wetten van Maxwell in integraal-vorm gegeven. De begrippen elektrische lading, krachten en velden worden beschreven. Hieruit wordt het begrip potentiaal gedefinieerd, met als...
This demonstration book is meant as an explanation and working example of the possibilities of making an online open textbook with the Jupyter books software. Jupyter books are made for the web. They incorporate many of the features we expect from modern websites, such as adaptive layout (readable on phones, tablets, and large computer...
Mathematics for Quantum Physics provides a compact introduction to the most important mathematical tools used in quantum mechanics. The text is aimed at students who already possess basic knowledge of calculus and complex numbers. It is divided into three parts: analysis, linear algebra and probability. The focus is on examples and...
Our world is the only planet, as far as we know, which harbors life. The number of humans on our planet has grown tremendously in recent centuries. In 1800 one billion humans occupied our earth; on 15 November 2022, this number reached 8 billion.
A result of this growth, the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the primary greenhouse gas...
Het boek Werktuigkundige Systemen is een compacte inleiding op het systeemdenken in de werktuigbouwkunde, met nadruk op inzicht en grafische methoden, gelardeerd met prikkelende werkingsprincipes en constructie-elementen. Velen merken dat ze nog lang nadat ze het vak gedaan hebben dit boek als naslagwerk gebruiken en het steeds meer gaan...
