Description for Computational Physics
Paperback. First published in 2007, this second edition is for graduate students and researchers in theoretical, computational and experimental physics. Num Pages: 634 pages, 90 b/w illus. 72 exercises. BIC Classification: PH; UY. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 242 x 176 x 30. Weight in Grams: 1246.
First published in 2007, this second edition describes the computational methods used in theoretical physics. New sections were added to cover finite element methods and lattice Boltzmann simulation, density functional theory, quantum molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo simulation, and diagonalisation of one-dimensional quantum systems. It covers many different areas of physics research and different computational methodologies, including computational methods such as Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics, various electronic structure methodologies, methods for solving partial differential equations, and lattice gauge theory. Throughout the book the relations between the methods used in different fields of physics are emphasised. Several new programs are described ... Read more

Reviews for Computational Physics
'The growing importance of computational physics to physics research as a whole will depend not only on increasingly powerful computers, but also on the continuing development of algorithms and numerical techniques for putting these machines to use. Furthermore, physics departments will need to augment their curricula to provide students with the skills needed to perform research using computers … In ... Read more
