Description for Computational Methods for Physicists
Hardcover. This text, the ideal student companion to the topic, explains all the core numerical techniques a physicist should know, as well as how to control errors, retain stability, and merge computations. It includes appendices full of additional detail and advice. Series: Graduate Texts in Physics. Num Pages: 716 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBKS; PDE; PHU; PNRP; TBJ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 241 x 163 x 46. Weight in Grams: 1242.
This book helps advanced undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral students in their daily work by offering them a compendium of numerical methods. The choice of methods pays significant attention to error estimates, stability and convergence issues as well as to the ways to optimize program execution speeds.
Many examples are given throughout the chapters, and each chapter is followed by at least a handful of more comprehensive problems which may be dealt with, for example, on a weekly basis in a one- or two-semester course. In these end-of-chapter problems the physics background is pronounced, and the main text preceding them is ... Read more

Reviews for Computational Methods for Physicists
From the reviews: “This is a well designed textbook that offers a generous compendium of numerical analysis, at a medium level of training in mathematics. The exposition style is attractive, and theoretical aspects are illustrated by relevant examples. … The book is recommended to students and researchers whose interests go beyond ‘successful recipes’, towards consistent insights into the mathematical ...
