The book requires only rudimentary physics knowledge but ability to program computers creatively and to keep the mind open to simple and not so simple models, based in individuals, for the living world around us. * Interdisciplinary coverage* Research oriented* Contains and explains programs* Based on recent discoveries* Little special knowledge required besides programming* Suitable for undergraduate and graduate research projects

This textbook takes the reader on a tour of the most important landmarks of theoretical physics: classical, quantum, and statistical mechanics, relativity, electrodynamics, as well as the most modern and exciting of all: elementary particles and the physics of fractals. The second edition has been supplemented with a new chapter devoted to concise though complete presentation of dynamical systems, bifurcations and chaos theory. The treatment i...

This volume is based on an international school on "Scaling and Disordered Systems" organized by M R H Khajehpour, M R Kolahchi and M Sahimi. Despite the common theme, it covers fields as diverse as basic and applied percolation, and biological prey -- predator and ageing simulations. The advantages of computer simulation thus become particularly clear in the reviews, which have been written by leading experts.

The ninth volume of Annual Reviews of Computational Physics has as a special feature a comprehensive compendium of interatomic potentials as used for materials properties. Other articles deal with simulations of magnetic nanostructures, improved Monte Carlo methods (e.g. for nucleation studies in Ising models), fluid dynamics with large mean free paths, the growing field of "sociophysics", and teaching of undergraduate computational physics (i...

Quantum phenomena and methods are the core of this volume. It includes such topics as simulations of magnetic fields, quantum Monte Carlo on a lattice - the world line algorithm, computer simulation of quantum phenomena in nano-scale devices, and tight-bending molecular dynamics.

This series of books covers all areas of computational physics, collecting together reviews where a newcomer can learn about the state of the art regarding methods and results. Articles are submitted by e-mail before deadlines which are kept by the editor.Biologically motivated simulations, glasses, world-record molecular dynamics, deposition on surfaces, and hydrodynamics are discussed in this volume which ends with an explanation of elementa...

In seiner zweiten Auflage ist dieses Buch bei aller K}rze noch vielseitiger geworden: Dem kanonischen Stoff eines zweisemestrigen Theoriekurses f}gte der Autor einen aktuellen Anhang }ber Elementarteilchen-Theorie hinzu. Die Breite der Themenauswahl und die klare Sprache gew{hren Haupt- und Nebenfachstudenten den ]berblick, der in Vorlesungen h{ufig zu kurz kommt. Zahlreiche, leicht nachvollziehbare Computerprogramme zeigen, wie die Phy...

The sixth volume of the series covers topics ranging from the generation of good random numbers to statistical physics, quantum mechanics, quantum computers and polymers, to protein folding and immunology simulations. It should thus be of interest not only to computational physicists but also to experts in computer science as well as theoretical biology.

The seventh volume of this invaluable series focuses an applications -- from Ising models to the formation of small clusters and phase ordering in fluids, to the structure of concrete, to the growth of cities built from it, to the traffic jams and the biology of life in the cities, and to the marketing of products to consumers. Thus the interdisciplinary research potential of computational physics is particularly well documented.

In this volume, the simulation of forest fires and other flames is presented in the first two articles. The next two deal with quantum simulations, in particular for two dimensions (quantum Hall effect and monolayers). Biology is connected with the last two articles.

The second of an annual series which reviews the current state of methods and results in computational physics. This volume emphasizes simulations of specific materials (polymers, water and amphiphilic systems), and then discusses surfaces, percolation and critical slowing-down.
