Chemistry Electricity for chemists

Click For 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 'Complex analysis or calculus?'

Im currently reading mathematics for physicists by Philippe Dennery and André Krzywicki, and I’m understanding most concepts however I think it would be better for me to get a book on complex analysis or calculus to better understand it so I’m not left looking at an equation for an hour trying to figure out what it means. So here comes the split, do I get a complex analysis book? Or a calculus book? I might be able to Borrow a calculus textbook from my math teacher study that for a bit and...
