Computational Approaches in Physics reviews computational schemes
which are used in the simulations of physical systems. These range
from very accurate ab initio techniques up to coarse-grained and
mesoscopic schemes. The choice of the method is based on the
desired accuracy and computational efficiency. A bottom-up approach
is used to present the various simulation methods used in Physics,
starting from the lower level and the most accurate methods, up to
particle-based ones. The book outlines the basic theory underlying
each technique and its complexity, addresses the computational
implications and issues in the implementation, as well as present
representative examples. A link to the most common computational
codes, commercial or open source is listed in each chapter. The
strengths and deficiencies of the variety of techniques discussed
in this book are presented in detail and visualization tools
commonly used to make the simulation data more comprehensive are
also discussed. In the end, specific techniques are used as bridges
across different disciplines. To this end, examples of different
systems tackled with the same methods are presented. The appendices
include elements of physical theory which are prerequisites in
understanding the simulation methods.
