A textbook for an undergraduate physics course introducing basic numerical techniques and their application to a number of topics of interest to modern physicists. Assumes an introductory mechanics and enough calculus to be familiar with differentiation and integration. Based on the notion that students should write their own programs, but relents in discussions of various problems and algorithms. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Book Details
