Computational Physics

Contains a wealth of topics to allow instructors flexibility in the choice of topics and depth of coverage: Examines

projective motion with and without realistic air resistance. Discusses planetary motion and the three-body problem. Explores

chaotic motion of the pendulum and waves on a string. Includes topics relating to fractal growth and stochastic systems.

Offers examples on statistical physics and quantum mechanics. Contains ample explanations of the necessary algorithms

students need to help them write original programs, and provides many example programs and calculations for reference.
