Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Thoroughly updated and revised for its second edition, this advanced textbook provides an introduction to the basic methods of computational physics, and an overview of recent progress in several areas of scientific computing. The author presents many step-by-step examples, including program listings in JavaTM, of practical numerical methods from modern physics and related areas. The book begins by dealing with basic computational tools and routines, covering approximating functions, differential equations, spectral analysis, and matrix operations. Important concepts are illustrated by relevant examples at each stage. The author also discusses more advanced topics, such as molecular dynamics, modelling continuous systems, Monte Carlo methods, genetic algorithm and programming, and numerical renormalization. Now including many more exercises, this can be used as a textbook for either undergraduate or first-year graduate courses on computational physics or scientific computation. It will also be a useful reference for anyone involved in computational research. This advanced textbook, revised for its second edition, provides an introduction to the methods and tools of computational physics, and offers an overview of progress in scientific computing. Important concepts are illustrated with relevant step-by-step examples with exercises. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
