Computer Simulation in Physics and Engineering de Martin Oliver Steinhauser

Computer Simulation in Physics and Engineering

Autor Martin Oliver Steinhauser
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 dec 2012
AD> This work is a needed reference for widely used techniques and methods of computer simulation in physics and other disciplines, such as materials science. Molecular dynamics computes a molecule's reactions and dynamics based on physical models; Monte Carlo uses random numbers to image a system's behaviour when there are different possible outcomes with related probabilities. The work conveys both the theoretical foundations as well as applications and "tricks of the trade", that often are scattered across various papers. Thus it will meet a need and fill a gap for every scientist who needs computer simulations for his/her task at hand. In addition to being a reference, case studies and exercises for use as course reading are included.
