Introductory Computational Physics 1st Edition by Andi Klein (PDF)

Description

Computers are one of the most important tools available to physicists, whether for calculating and displaying results, simulating experiments, or solving complex systems of equations. Introducing students to computational physics, this textbook, first published in 2006, shows how to use computers to solve mathematical problems in physics and teaches students about choosing different numerical approaches. It also introduces students to many of the programs and packages available. The book relies solely on free software: the operating system chosen is Linux, which comes with an excellent C++ compiler, and the graphical interface is the ROOT package available for free from CERN. This broad scope textbook is suitable for undergraduates starting on computational physics courses. It includes exercises and many examples of programs. Online resources at www.cambridge.org/0521828627 feature additional reference information, solutions, and updates on new techniques, software and hardware used in physics.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I buy this book expecting more knowledge about using Root software, in the other hand it is a usefull book for computational physics as it says. For that I recommend this book.

⭐A most fulfilling introduction of computational physics, a combination of computer science as physics. I ask whoever is reading this to purchase a copy.

⭐Short and to the point.

⭐I like the idea of this book and the approach to use root as a toolkit, and bought it. That part is still appealing to me as instructor. Content wise, the book is very brief on almost all concepts. There is not depth to any subject. The problems are o.k., but don’t necessarily justify the purchase.As a supplement the book has some merit, as a required textbook for an undergraduate course I can not recommend it.
