Computers are one of the most important tools available to physicists whetherfor calculating and displaying results simulating experiments or solvingcomplex systems of equations. This textbook shows students how to use computersto solve mathematical problems in physics and teaches them about choosingdifferent numerical approaches. The book relies solely on free software usingLinux as the operating system. This uptodate broad scope textbook issuitable for undergraduates starting on computational physics courses. Itincludes exercises examples of programs and online resources atwww.cambridge.org0521828627. «
