Item description from seller

Hardcover. Created to help scientists and engineers write computer code, this practical book addresses the important tools and techniques that are necessary for scientific computing, but which are not yet commonplace in science and engineering curricula. This book contains chapters summarizing the most important topics that computational researchers need to know about. It leverages the viewpoints of passionate experts involved with scientific computing courses around the globe and aims to be a starting point for new computational scientists and a reference for the experienced. Each contributed chapter focuses on a specific tool or skill, providing the content needed to provide a working knowledge of the topic in about one day. While many individual books on specific computing topics exist, none is explicitly focused on getting technical professionals and students up and running immediately across a variety of computational areas. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…

About the Author

Frank Willmore completed his PhD in chemical engineering in 2006 at the University of Texas under the direction of Isaac C Sanchez, studying the role of free volume in small molecule diffusion. After a brief foray into the construction sector, Frank returned to research and began postdoctoral work using GPUs for molecular simulation. In May of 2010, he joined the high performance computing team at the Texas Advanced Computing Center as a consultant focused on chemical engineering and materials science software applications and developed their first short course on CUDA programming for their Summer Supercomputing Institute. Frank received a National Research Council award to study free volume in materials at the National Institute of Standards and Technology for all of 2011. Frank remained at TACC until 2014 and has since pursued consulting projects, including a project with the Glotzer group at the University of Michigan, building analytical and visual extensions to the HOOMD software package. Eric Jankowski is an assistant professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Boise State University. His research group uses computer simulations to understand how the arrangements of molecules can be controlled through thermodynamic self-assembly. Eric was a Director’s Fellow at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Colorado, Boulder. He earned his PhD in chemical engineering in 2012 from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, working with Sharon Glotzer to develop efficient heuristics for predicting thermodynamically stable arrangements of small particles. ? Coray Colina is Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Florida with an affiliate appointment in Materials Science and Nuclear Engineering. She obtained her PhD in Chemical Engineering at North Carolina State University working with Keith E. Gubbins and was a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Chemistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, working with Lee Pedersen. She was previously a faculty member at Simón Bolívar University, Venezuela, and joined the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University as Associate Professor in 2007. Her group strives to understand and predict structure-property relations in functional materials, such as polymeric membranes, hydrogels, biomolecules, and alternative ionic liquids. They use a variety of simulation techniques to gain further understanding of these systems by providing unique insight into structural aspects and phenomena. Complementary to experimental investigations, their work is helping to analyze and interpret experimental results, as well as to predict performance of new materials to guide future experimental design efforts.

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.
