Introductory Computational Physics By Andi Klein, Alexander Godunov

Introductory Computational Physics\n\nA broad scope textbook for senior undergraduates starting computational physics courses, first published in 2006.\n\nAndi Klein (Author), Alexander Godunov (Author)\n\n9780521828628 (SKU 3293015), Cambridge University Press\n\nHardback, published 9 March 2006\n\n148 pages\n25.4 x 19.4 x 1.4 cm, 0.502 kg\n\nComputers are one of the most important tools available to physicists, whether for calculating and displaying results, simulating experiments, or solving complex systems of equations. Introducing students to computational physics, this textbook, first published in 2006, shows how to use computers to solve mathematical problems in physics and teaches students about choosing different numerical approaches. It also introduces students to many of the programs and packages available. The book relies solely on free software: the operating system chosen is Linux, which comes with an excellent C++ compiler, and the graphical interface is the ROOT packa]
