Computational Physics Using Python

Product Description

This book provides a practical introduction to using computational (or numerical) methods to solve physics problems using the Python programming language including differential equations Fourier transforms Monte Carlo methods and data analysis. It is designed with a two-level approach: topics are introduced at the lowest level and readers encounter the simplest examples of coding the algorithm themselves before a second level introduced by the problems allows the reader to use library models and take their understanding to a higher level. The book does not teach Python programming as students traditionally have already learnt those skills before studying computational methods but it instead…
