What are the best undergraduate-level books on the Casimir Effect?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around seeking recommendations for introductory books on the Casimir Effect, particularly suitable for someone with a background in classical electrodynamics and quantum mechanics, but not yet in quantum electrodynamics (QED). A specific resource is mentioned, a PDF from Robinett's website, along with an article from the American Journal of Physics as useful materials for understanding the topic. The request emphasizes the need for accessible literature to facilitate learning about the Casimir Effect at an undergraduate level.

Hey forumers!

I'm currently starting work on Casimir Effect. A simple, undergraduate level introductory book would be helpful here. Can you guys suggest anything that might suite my level?

I do know classical electrodynamics & QM, but not in QED yet..

Thanks man.
 

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
