Big Practical Guide to Computer Simulations 2nd Edition

"This unique book is a musthave for any student attempting first steps in computer simulations. Any new student joining my computational physics group is expected to first work through Hartmann's guide before starting a research project." Helmut Katzgraber Associate Professor Texas A&M University "This book is packed with useful information for everyone doing computer simulations. It would have saved me so much time in my earlier work if it had been available then. It should be compulsory reading for students starting off in the field, but experienced workers will also find useful gems, as I did." A Peter Young Research Professor of Physics University of California, Santa Cruz This book teaches you all necessary (problemindependent) tools and techniques needed to implement and perform sophisticated scientific numerical simulations. Thus, it is suited for undergraduate and graduate students who want to become experts in computer simulations in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, Computer Science and other fields.
