Applied Computational Physics is a graduate-level text stressing three essential elements: advanced programming techniques, numerical analysis, and physics. The goal of the text is to provide students with essential computational skills that they will need in their careers, and to increase the confidence with which they write computer programs designed for their problem domain. The physics problems give them an opportunity to reinforce their programming skills, while the acquired programming skills augment their ability to solve physics problems. The C++ language is used throughout the text. Physics problems include Hamiltonian systems, chaotic systems, percolation, critical phenomena, few-body and multi-body quantum systems, quantum field theory, simulation of radiation transport, and data modeling.

The book, the fruit of a collaboration between a theoretical physicist and an experimental physicist, covers a broad range of topics from both viewpoints. Examples, program libraries, and additional documentation can be found at the companion website. Hundreds of original problems reinforce programming skills and increase the ability to solve real-life physics problems at and beyond the graduate level.

Industry Reviews

This is an extremely user friendly and compact introduction to almost all the computational and numerical aspects of physics at the graduate level. It can also be used as a self-study text, and, once mastered, will serve as a useful reference... I have no hesitations in recommending this book for science and engineering students who are either looking for a supplementary textbook other than what is being used in their classrooms, or, who want to venture into the world of computing on their own. * M. P. Gururajan, Contemporary Physics *
The book covers various important topics, including Monte Carlo methods, simulations, graphics for physicists and data modelling, and gives large space to algorithmic techniques. ... this book could also be very useful for students in chemistry, biology, atmospheric science and engineering. * CERN Courier *
