Description
Computational Physics. Selected Methods, Simple Exercises,
Serious Applications
is an overview written by leading researchers of a variety of fields and developments.
Selected Methods
introduce the reader to current fields, including molecular dynamics, hybrid Monte-Carlo algorithms, and neural networks.
Simple Exercises
give hands-on advice for effective program solutions from a small number of lines to demonstration programs with elaborate graphics.
Serious
Applications
show how questions concerning, for example, aging, many-minima optimisation, or phase transitions can be treated by appropriate tools. The source code and demonstration graphics are included on a 3.5" MS-DOS diskette.
Reviews / Votes
"...this book packs a lot of fun in a small space and remains readable throughout. It can be read from cover to cover, or just dipped into as the reader feels the need." Scientific Computing WorldMore details
