Description: "This invaluable book is suitable for two different levels of computational physics. The first part of the book is of an advanced introductory level and is appropriate for good students with no previous experience in computational methods or any student with some experience. Here the student is introduced to integral and differential techniques, Monte Carlo integration, basic computer architecture, methods of linear algebra, finite element techniques, digital signal processing and chaos." "The second part of the book is more specialized for problems in strong interaction with emphasis on solutions to many-body scattering problems and several-body bound state calculations with Monte Carlo techniques. It also contains a chapter dealing with techniques for the summation of divergent series."--Jacket.
