Computational Physics
by Nicholas Giordano, Hisao Nakanishi
Computational Physics offers flexible coverage of physical systems and computational methods. It explores projectile and planetary motion, the three-body problem, chaos, waves, fractal growth, stochastic systems, statistical physics, and quantum mechanics, while explaining essential algorithms and providing example programs and calculations for developing original computational work.
About This Book
Computational Physics presents a broad selection of topics designed to give instructors flexibility in choosing subjects and determining the depth of coverage.
The book examines projectile motion with and without realistic air resistance, planetary motion, and the three-body problem.
It explores chaotic pendulum motion, waves on a string, fractal growth, and stochastic systems.
Additional topics include statistical physics and quantum mechanics, supported by explanations of the algorithms students need to write original programs.
Example programs and calculations provide references for applying computational methods to physical problems.
