Good resources for learning basic surface tension

AI Thread Summary
Surface tension is often overlooked in introductory physics textbooks, prompting a search for accessible resources that provide a solid introduction to the topic. Recommendations include seeking materials that match the depth and mathematical rigor found in established texts like Halliday and Young. A suggestion is to utilize Wikipedia as a starting point, as it offers a comprehensive overview of surface tension, including fundamental concepts and basic formulas. This approach can help bridge the gap for those looking to understand surface tension at a level comparable to standard physics curricula.

Summary:: Hi, I realized that surface tension is not covered in introductory physics textbooks. Where can I get a good introduction on surface tension?

*info provided should be about the same depth as topics in Halliday, Young.

Hi, I realized that surface tension is not covered in introductory physics textbooks. Where can I get a good introduction on surface tension?

*info provided should be about the same depth as topics in Halliday, Young etc. ie includes basic formulas. the level of math involved should be similar to Halliday as well.

Thanks for your recommendations!

TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first...
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)...
