Study Program Syllabus
MPCOM - COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING, MSC PROGR
Important Note
All the books included in this listed are mentioned based on the material referred to the
students during the academic years 2007-08 & 2008-09
The books may vary depending upon the changes administered by the course staff
Most of the books are also available as e-books on the Chalmers library database and once
students join Chalmers they can easily get a copy
(Chalmers Library Web Page http://www.lib.chalmers.se/)
Hard copies of most of the books are available at CREMONA (Student shop @ Chalmers Student
Union Building) but as these are the original versions, their prices are quite high so it is
recommended to bring as many books as possible from Pakistan if you are not used to of
reading e-books Visit Cremona Webpage at http://www.cremona.se/site/aktuella_boecker
Licensed versions of most of the important softwares (including different versions of windows,
MATLAB, Visual Studio etc) are available at Chalmers free of cost so you need not to worry
about those.
