Synopses & Reviews
Computer Simulation and Computer Algebra. Starting from simple examples in classical mechanics, these introductory lectures proceed to simulations in statistical physics (using FORTRAN) and then explain in detail the use of computer algebra (by means of Reduce). This third edition takes into account the most recent version of Reduce (3.4.1) and updates the description of large-scale simulations to subjects such as the 170000 X 170000 Ising model. Furthermore, an introduction to both vector and parallel computing is given.
Synopsis
This enlarged third edition has been updated to the most recent version of Reduce (3.4.1) and large-scale simulations. A new chapter on vector and parallel computing has been added. Thus, this new edition will be welcomed by graduate physics and mathematics students and physicists as well.
