- Book Synopsis
- This book provides an accessible introduction to computational physics, designed specifically for undergraduate students. Its purpose is to bridge the gap between theoretical physics and practical, computational approaches, equipping students with the tools and techniques needed to solve real-world physics problems through programming and numerical methods. This book's approach is highly practical, with a strong emphasis on coding exercises and projects that encourage students to actively engage with the material. Examples and exercises are carefully chosen to reinforce learning, and each chapter provides step-by-step guidance to solve problems using computational tools. By the end of the book, readers will have a solid grounding in both computational skills and physics applications, preparing them for more advanced studies or professional work in physics, engineering, or related fields.Key Features: Practical hands-on approach Truly introductory course, assumes no computing experience Extensive problems and exercises, with solutions, across science and engineering Perfect for taught courses or self-study
- About The Author
- Fridolin Weber is a Distinguished Professor of Physics at San Diego State University and a Research Scientist at the University of California at San Diego. He is interested in nuclear and particle processes that occur in extreme astrophysical systems such as neutron stars and supernovae. Other interests include the application of quantum many-body theory to nuclear matter and dense quark matter, relativistic astrophysics, and Einstein's theory of general relativity. Dr. Weber has a PhD in theoretical nuclear physics and a PhD in theoretical astrophysics, both from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Germany. He has published two books, is the author or co-author of almost 200 publications, and has given around 300 talks at conferences and physics schools.
