About this title

Synopsis:

This text demonstrates how numerical methods are used to solve the problems that physicists face. Each chapter discusses different types of computational problems, with exercises developed around problems of physical interest. Students are led from discussions of relatively elementary problems and simple numerical approaches, through derivations of more complex and sophisticated methods, often culminating in the solution to problems of significant difficulty. A disk is included with the book.
