About this title

Synopsis

Using computers to solve problems and model physical problems has fast become an integral part of undergraduate and graduate education in physics. This 3rd year undergraduate and subsequent graduate course is a supplement to courses in theoretical physics and develops problem-solving techniques using the computer. It makes use of the newest version of Mathematica (3.0) while still remaining compatible with older versions The programs using Mathematica 3.0 and C are written for both PCs and workstations, and the problems, source files, and graphic routines help students gain experience from the very beginning.

From the Back Cover

Computational Physics has undergone rapid development in recent years and has been integrated as a standard part of graduate physics education. This third-year undergraduate and then graduate course designed by W. Kinzel and G. Reents is a supplement to any course in theoretical physics and aims at good techniques for problem-solving using the computer. The computer programs presented in this book are based on Mathematica and C and are written for PCs and Workstations. 40 detailed examples from different physical disciplines together with source files and graphics routines help the student gain thorough experience right from the start.
