A Survey of Computational Physics: Introductory Computational Science by Rubin H. Landau (PDF)

Description

Computational physics is a rapidly growing subfield of computational science, in large part because computers can solve previously intractable problems or simulate natural processes that do not have analytic solutions. The next step beyond Landau’s First Course in Scientific Computing and a follow-up to Landau and Páez’s Computational Physics, this text presents a broad survey of key topics in computational physics for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students, including new discussions of visualization tools, wavelet analysis, molecular dynamics, and computational fluid dynamics. By treating science, applied mathematics, and computer science together, the book reveals how this knowledge base can be applied to a wider range of real-world problems than computational physics texts normally address. Designed for a one- or two-semester course, A Survey of Computational Physics will also interest anyone who wants a reference on or practical experience in the basics of computational physics. Accessible to advanced undergraduates Real-world problem-solving approach Java codes and applets integrated with text Companion Web site includes videos of lectures

User’s Reviews

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

⭐I have the Kindle version of this book. The content is good so far (I’m about 1/3 through), but often the text is offered incorrectly where the Kindle rendering wasn’t done properly – namely, some mathematical symbols, some greek letters, and some exponents are shown incorrectly where they were not inserted as images. Those inserted as images are fine, of course, or the book would be unreadable. Overall I give the book 4 stars for excellent content, and would give 5 if the rendering were done properly.

⭐I was a graduate student in Physics and took Computational Physics as an elective. I learned so much from this book that I use daily at work, in how physics is applied and used in the real world. If I had read this book sooner I would have been a Computational Physicist.

⭐The book is okay. You need the CD. My copy does not come with the CD. It is quite difficult to follow through the code in the book
