Author Franz J. Vesely offers students an introductory text on computational physics, providing them with the important basic numerical/computational techniques. His unique text sets itself apart from others by focusing on specific problems of computational physics. The author also provides a selection of modern fields of research. Students will benefit from the appendixes which offer a short description of some properties of computing and machines and outline the technique of 'Fast Fourier Transformation.'

about the first edition:
`... a concise introduction to the methods and algorithms used in computational physics...clear in its presentation... useful for those beginning more advanced work in the field...'
From the reviews of the second edition:
"The book is an excellent introduction to computational physics. ... The book can be useful for graduate students of physical and mathematical faculties as well as for specialists in the field of numerical mathematics and mathematical modeling." (Piotr Matus, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1049 (24), 2004)
Introduces the numerical and computational techniques that have been used in physics as far back as Newton and Gauss, and are only associated with computers now because they are easier that way. The treatment is less comprehensive than textbooks on numerical mathematics in focusing on methods useful in physics and on recipes rather than proofs. Als
