This book is designed to provide the reader with a grounding in
scientific programming and computational physics. It contains many
exercises developed in the context of physics problems, and several
examples of working programs to provide a solid basis on which to
build. Computers are now ubiquitous and are an essential tool to
any would-be scientific researcher. Computers can be used for a
wide variety of scientific tasks, from the simple manipulation of
data to simulations of real world events. The book intends to give
the reader the confidence to start applying the methods presented
to their own problems and research. It covers topics such as
interpolation, integration, and the numerical solutions to both
ordinary and partial differential equations. It discusses simple
ideas, such as linear interpolation, and root finding through
bisection, to more advanced concepts, such as the Gauss-Legendre
quadrature, and the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg algorithm to solve complex
differential equations. It also contains a chapter on high
performance computing that provides an introduction to parallel
programming. Features: Designed to provide the reader with a
