Computational Physics

Beschreibung

This book encapsulates the coverage for a two-semester course in computational physics. The first part introduces the basic numerical methods while omitting mathematical proofs but demonstrating the algorithms by way of numerous computer experiments. The second part specializes in simulation of classical and quantum systems with instructive examples spanning many fields in physics, from a classical rotor to a quantum bit. All program examples are realized as Java applets ready to run in your browser and do not require any programming skills.
Computational Physics introduces the basic numerical methods behind computational physics, providing computer experiments that demonstrate each algorithm. The simulation of classical and quantum systems is also included, with instructive examples spanning many fields in physics.
