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.
