内容简介
This Second Edition has been fully updated. The wide range of topics covered inthe First Edition has been extended with new chapters on finite element methodsand lattice Boltzmann simulation. New sections have been added to the chapters ondensity functional theory, quantum molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo simulationand diagonalisation of one-dimensional quantum systems.
The book covers many different areas of physics research and different computa-tional methodologies, with an emphasis on condensed matter physics and physicalchemistry. It includes computational methods such as Monte Carlo and moleculardynamics, various electronic structure methodologies, methods for solving par-tial differential equations, and lattice gauge theory. Throughout the book, therelations between the methods used in different fields of physics are emphas-ised. Several new programs are described and these can be downloaded fromwww.cambridge.org/9780521833462
The book requires a background in elementary programming, numerical analysisand field theory, as well as undergraduate knowledge of condensed matter theoryand statistical physics. It will be of interest to graduate students and researchers intheoretical, computational and experimental physics.Jos THIJSSEN is a lecturer at the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience at Delft Universityof Technology.
