Beschreibung

Paperback. Computers are one of the most important tools available to physicists, whether for calculating and displaying results, simulating experiments, or solving complex systems of equations. Introducing students to computational physics, this textbook reveals how to use computers to solve mathematical problems in physics and teaches students about choosing different numerical approaches. It also introduces students to many of the programs and packages available. The book relies solely on free software: the operating system chosen is Linux, which comes with an excellent C++ compiler, and the graphical interface is the ROOT package available for free from CERN. This broad scope textbook, first published in 2006, is suitable for undergraduates starting on computational physics courses. It shows how to use computers to solve mathematical problems in physics and teaches a variety of numerical approaches. It includes exercises, examples of programs and online resources at Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
