Koonin S.E. Computational physics

Wiley-VCH, 2000, Pages: 727 Combining theory and applications, this book deals with the modelling of materials properties and phenomena at atomic level. The first part provides an overview of the state of the art of computational solid state physics. Emphasis is given on the understanding of approximations and their consequences regarding the accuracy of the results. This part of the book also deals as a guide to find the best method for a give...

Proceedings of the Sixth Granada Workshop, Spain, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, 1984, 280 pp. The present proceedings contain the lectures given at the Sixth International Granada Workshop on "Mathematical and Computational Methods in Nuclear Physics", held in Granada (Spain), October 3rd-8th, 1983. The lectures, covering various aspects of the many-body problem in nuclei, review present knowledge and include some unpublished material as w...

Second Edition, 1989 The new and exciting field of computational science, and in particular simulational science, has seen rapid change since the first edition of this book came out. New methods have been found, fresh points of view have emerged, and features hidden so far have been uncovered. Almost all the methods presented in the first addition have seen such a development, though the basics have remained the same. But not just the methods hav...

Springer, 2009. - 217 pages. "Geometry and Physics" addresses mathematicians wanting to understand modern physics, and physicists wanting to learn geometry. It gives an introduction to modern quantum field theory and related areas of theoretical high-energy physics from the perspective of Riemannian geometry, and an introduction to modern geometry as needed and utilized in modern physics. Jurgen Jost, a well-known research mathematician and adva...

Wiley-Interscience, 1997. ISBN: 0471115908 Help students master real-world problems as they develop new insight into the physical sciences Problems in the physical sciences that once baffled and frustrated scientists can now be solved easily with the aid of a computer. Computers can quickly complete complex calculations, provide numerical simulations of natural systems, and explore the unknown. Computational Physics shows students how to use co...

Princeton University Press, Princeton and Oxford, 2008, 698 pp. In the decade since two of us wrote the book Computational Physics, we have seen a good number of computational physics texts and courses come into existence. This is good. Multiple texts help define a still-developing field and provide a choice of viewpoints and focus. After perusing the existing texts, we decided that the most worthwhile contribution we could make was to extend our...
