It contains very-well-presented and simple mathematical descriptions of many of the most important algorithms used in computational physics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first part of the book discusses the basic numerical methods. The second part concentrates on simulation of classical and quantum systems. Several classes of integration methods are discussed including not only the standard Euler and Runge Kutta method but also multi-step methods and the class of Verlet methods, which is introduced by studying the motion in Liouville space. A general chapter on the numerical treatment of differential equations provides methods of finite differences, finite volumes, finite elements and boundary elements together with spectral methods and weighted residual based methods. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book gives simple but non trivial examples from a broad range of physical topics trying to give the reader insight into not only the numerical treatment but also simulated problems. Different methods are compared with regard to their stability and efficiency. The exercises in the book are realised as computer experiments. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philipp Scherer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 331900400X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319004006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.47h x 6.33w x 1.18d","brand":"Philipp Scherer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44201972171007,"sku":"9783319004006","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8fd34cd9-5a9c-4763-85df-493c83495214.jpg?v=1691492490","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/computational-physics-philipp-scherer-9783319004006","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
