COMPUTER SOLUTIONS IN PHYSICS
With Applications in Astrophysics, Biophysics, Differential Equations, and Engineering
(With CD-ROM)
by Steve VanWyk (Olympic College, USA)
With the great progress in numerical methods and the speed of the modern personal computer, if you can formulate the correct physics equations, then you only need to program a few lines of code to get the answer. Where other books on computational physics dwell on the theory of problems, this book takes a detailed look at how to set up the equations and actually solve them on a PC.
Focusing on popular software packages like Mathematica, Maple and MatLab, the book offers undergraduate student a comprehensive treatment of the methodology used in programing solutions to equations in physics.
Contents:
- Equations of Motion
- Vibrations and Waves
- Building Differential
Equation
- Partial Differential and Quantum Mechanics
- Applications
Readership: Undergraduates of science and engineering; instructors of physics
and engineering needing new and interesting problems; computer users with an interest in science.
