About this book

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

"...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 World
