Description for Statistical Mechanics: Algorithms and Computations
Paperback. This book discusses the computational approach in modern statistical physics, adopting simple language and an attractive format with many illustrations, tables and printed algorithms. The style will appeal to students, teachers and researchers in the physical sciences. The focus is on orientation, with implementation details kept to a minimum. Series: Oxford Master Series in Physics. Num Pages: 360 pages, 260 line drawings, 13 halftones. BIC Classification: PB; PHFC; PHQ; PHS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 244 x 188 x 19. Weight in Grams: 788.
This book discusses the computational approach in modern statistical physics in a clear yet accessible way, and works out its intimate relations with other approaches in theoretical physics. Individual chapters focus on subjects as diverse as the hard sphere liquid, classical spin models, single quantum particles and Bose-Einstein condensation. They contain in-depth discussions of algorithms ranging from basic enumeration methods to modern Monte Carlo techniques. The emphasis is on orientation. Discussions of implementation details are kept to a minimum. The book heavily relies on illustrations, tables and concise printed algorithms to convey key information: all the material remains easily ... Read more
