Synopsis
This advanced textbook provides an introduction to the basic methods of computational physics, as well as an overview of recent progress in several areas of scientific computing. The author presents many step-by-step examples of practical numerical methods, often with the relevant program listing. The first half of the book deals with basic computational tools and routines, covering differential equations, spectral analysis and matrix operations. Important concepts are illustrated by relevant examples at each stage. The author also discusses more advanced topics, such as Monte Carlo simulations, lattice gas methods, molecular dynamics and symbolic computing. The book includes many exercises, and it can be used as a textbook for senior undergraduate or first-year graduate courses on scientific computation. It will also be a useful reference for anyone involved in computational physics or related disciplines.

'This book can be used by upper-division undergraduate or graduate students in physics or applied mathematics, and will be an excellent resource for beginning researchers in computational physics.' Choice
From the Author
A New Book for Course Adoption and Self Studies:
There is a homepage at the URL Fortran and C programs related to the book can be accessed at the site now.
The book is written for course adoption as well as for self studies: There are many examples and exercise problems that can help students and researchers/instructors alike in learning the basic computing methods related to physics and other fields. Special topics (Chapters 7 to 12) on computer simulation techniques are discussed with adequate references, which can lead the readers to current research.
I will also be very glad to hear from the readers of their view on the book. Please send me an e-mail if you have any comments or suggestions.
