AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around identifying a textbook related to simple harmonic motion, specifically referencing a photo from a ten-year-old forum thread. A user suggests searching for "15.3 Energy in Simple Harmonic Motion," which leads to a link from OpenStax's University Physics textbook. The conversation highlights that while the original book may not be found, the newer 2016 edition from OpenStax adequately covers the topic and satisfies the user's needs. The importance of this subject in freshman physics courses is also emphasized.

Every freshman physics text should cover this topic.
 
Big thanks! I tried googling, though I didn't find the same book. Probably that's because current openstax University Physics is newer (published in 2016). Nevertheless, I am satisfied with the new version too
 

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...
