Computational Physics: Selected Methods Simple Exercises Serious Applications

Product Description 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. SeriousApplications 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. Review "...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 From the Back Cover "Computational Physics.
