This book provides a practical introduction to using computational (or numerical) methods to solve physics problems using the Python programming language, including differential equations, Fourier transforms, Monte Carlo methods, and data analysis.
It is designed with a two-level approach: topics are introduced at the lowest level, and readers encounter the simplest examples of coding the algorithm themselves before a second level introduced by the problems allows the reader to use library models and take their understanding to a higher level.
The book does not teach Python programming as students traditionally have already learnt those skills before studying computational methods, but it instead teaches readers to apply their knowledge to solve realistic physics problems.
The book is aimed at advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students in physics or engineering. A junior-level university (or college) physics and mathematics background is assumed. But readers will not be prevented from understanding or applying numerical methods because of a lack of knowledge in a specific physics area.
Key features:
- Explores a wide spectrum of topics, from classical numerical methods to solving ordinary and partial differential equations of physics, plus spectral methods, data analysis, and Monte Carlo methods.
- Includes a chapter on data analysis and statistics, not traditionally covered in related titles on computational methods for scientists.
- Chapters are accompanied by problems and worked solutions (discussions, example code and output). Readers can access the full set of solutions under the support materials tab at: http://www.routledge.com/9781041116288.

About the Author
Doug Gingrich is a Professor at the University of Alberta, Canada. He obtained his PhD from the University of Toronto and has been teaching physics for over 30 years at the University of Alberta. His main research is in experimental particle physics, where he is an author of over 1700 peer-reviewed journal articles in the fields of particle physics, gravitation, astronomy, and electronics. The publications range from single author to thousands of co-authors. He has been using computers, and a multitude of programming languages, to solve physics problems since computers were available to science students. He is now actively employing Python in statistical data analysis in particle physics and numerical solutions in gravity.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Revaluation Books, Hounslow, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
