Title: Computer simulation and computer algebra
Description: Computer Simulation and Computer Algebra. Starting from simple examples in classical mechanics, these introductory lectures proceed to simulations in statistical physics (using FORTRAN) and then explain in detail the use of computer algebra (by means of Reduce). This third edition takes into account the most recent version of Reduce (3.4.1) and updates the description of large-scale simulations to subjects such as the 170000 X 170000 Ising model. Furthermore, an introduction to both vector and parallel computing is given.
Subjects: Computer simulation, Data processing, Algebra, Algebra, data processing, Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Physics, Mathematical physics, Mathematical Methods in Physics, Numerical and Computational Physics, Dynamical Systems and Complexity Statistical Physics, Simulation and Modeling
