This text covers the most important, basic numerical and analytical techniques used in physics - including ordinary and partial differential equations, linear algebra, Fourier transforms, integration and probability. FORTRAN references are included.
For courses in Computational Physics and or Numerical Methods.
The second edition updates programs, graphics, includes a significant number of new and revised exercises, and revises throughout for clarity. Organized around the numerical algorithms that should be in every physicists' “Computational Toolbox”. This text combines numerical analysis and mathematical physics topics.
