Computational physics is a rapidly growing subfield of computational science, in large part because computers can solve previously intractable problems or simulate natural processes that do not have analytic solutions. The next step beyond Landau's First Course in Scientific Computing and a follow-up to Landau and Paez's Computational Physics, this text presents a broad survey of key topics in computational physics for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students, including new discussions of visualization tools, wavelet analysis, molecular dynamics, and computational fluid dynamics. By treating science, applied mathematics, and computer science together, the book reveals how this knowledge base can be ... Read more

Reviews for A Survey of Computational Physics: Introductory Computational Science
Rubin H. Landau, Winner of the 2008 Undergraduate Computational Engineering and Sciences Awards, The Krell Institute "Landau and Piez, authors of Computational Physics, have teamed up with Bordeianu to create an expanded work on introductory computational physics. Even more comprehensive than the first book, this volume contains up-to-date treatments of many new topics at the forefront of the field... This ... Read more
