Synopsis
In a rapidly evolving field such as computational physics, six years is an eternity. Even though many of the elementary techniques described here are of venerable age, their assembly into sophisticated combined methods and their intensive application to ever new problems is an ongoing and exciting process. After six years, a new the new vistas edition of this textbook must therefore take into account some of that have opened up recently. Apart from these additions and some didactic improvements, the general struc ture of the book holds good. The first three chapters are devoted to a thorough, if concise, treatment of the main ingredients from numerical mathematics: finite differences, linear algebra, and stochastics. This exercise will prove valuable when we proceed, in chapters 4 and 5, to combine these elementary tools into powerful instruments for the integration of differential equations. The final chapters are devoted to a number of applications in selected fields: statistical physics, quantum mechanics, and hydrodynamics. I will gradually augment this text by web-resident sample programs. These will be written in JAVA and will be accompanied by short explanations and references to this text. Thus it may prove worthwhile to pay an occasional visit to my web-site www.ap.univie.ac.at/users/Franz.Vesely/ to see if any new applets have sprung up., In a rapidly evolving field such as computational physics, six years is an eternity.

- m***l (36)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseYay, so happy with this purchase!!! All arrived very very well packaged and in new condition, as described!!!! Great good price and in its condition sealed clear plastic outer packaging, I would recommend this seller to anyone. A+++++ Thank you so much!!!Mr. Soulman blu-ray (#396540002845)
- 0***k (6)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseIt came in perfect condition and it came exactly within the timeframe. It was packaged very well with two layers of bubble wrap. The item was exactly what I ordered. The value was a bit high but considering that I couldn’t find it literally anywhere else it’s fair.“BLAME!” Blu-ray [Regular Edition] (#396487770382)
