Chemistry Electricity for chemists

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for textbooks that effectively explain electricity within a chemical context, particularly for applications like cyclic voltammetry and the physics of electricity in solutions. Participants highlight the need for resources that bridge chemistry and electronics, suitable for someone with a background in chemistry and some knowledge of electronics. Recommendations include specific titles such as "Electrochemistry for Chemists" by Donald T. Sawyer and a highly regarded comprehensive text referred to as "The Bible" in the field. The focus is on finding materials that cater to beginning graduate students, emphasizing the importance of understanding electrochemistry and electrophysiology.

Are there good textbooks which explain electricity in a chemical context better. i.e. for use in measurements (cyclic voltammetry and others), the physics (suitable for a chemist) of electricity in solutions and how solutions can be modelled in circuit diagrams.

I have some knowledge of electronics and I have 4 going on 5 years of chemistry education, as well as some background in chemical quantum mechanics, although I'd need to brush up on that for a quantitative understanding.

FWIW, I would also be interested in a recommendation, specifically regarding electrochemistry/electrophysiology at a level suitable for a beginning graduate student.
 

Thread 'Blennow to follow up Altland?'

TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...

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...
