Focusing on advanced computational techniques, this collection presents lecture notes from a course aimed at final-year undergraduate physics and chemistry students. The second volume explores various particle methods, including both deterministic and stochastic approaches, highlighting their applications in contemporary computer simulations within physics and related fields. This resource serves as a valuable guide for those interested in the practical aspects of computational physics.
Focused on computational physics, this collection presents lecture notes from a course aimed at advanced undergraduates in physics and chemistry. It emphasizes grid methods, essential for solving ordinary and partial differential equations, highlighting the importance of these techniques in computational science. The content distinguishes between methods that require matrix algebra and those that do not, making it a valuable resource for students and professionals looking to deepen their understanding of computational techniques in scientific research.
The book provides a non-specialist introduction to the reasons why we can make sense of the world around and within us, facing the oceans of complexity which inhabit both. The book provides a scientific and easily accessible description of some of the key physical mechanisms by which the wonderful gift of life materializes in the natural world.
