Numerical tools for physics and engineering

Wong S M’s second edition presents numerical methods as practical tools for work in physics and engineering. Methods are introduced through realistic examples and computer programs, with explanations intended to help readers compare approaches and locate existing code. The book also includes examples of unconventional methods, while directing readers to references for detailed proofs and derivations. Its emphasis is on using computational power thoughtfully: understanding enough of each method to choose an approach and continue exploring suitable solutions.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Physics or engineering students and practitioners seeking an applied introduction to numerical methods.
  • Readers who want examples accompanied by computer programs and guidance on comparing computational approaches.
  • Those interested in exploring unconventional numerical methods.

Book overview

Numerical methods are playing an ever-increasing role in physics and engineering. This is especially true after the recent explosion of computing power on the desk-top. This book is aimed at helping the user to make intelligent use of this power tool. Each method is introduced through realistic examples and actual computer programs. The explanations provide the background for making a choice between similar approaches and the knowledge to explore the network for the appropriate existing codes. Tedious proofs and derivations, on the other hand, are delegated to references. Examples of uncoventional methods are also given to stimulate readers in exploring new ways of solving problems.
