- Summary:
- Steinhauser (high-speed dynamics, Ernst-Mach-Institute, EMI, Freiburg, Germany) presents a textbook for senior undergraduate majors in physics, engineering, or computer science, or for graduate students embarking on their first research projects. He discusses both the engineering issues in program design and the mathematical and physical foundations of scientific computing. The end-of-chapter exercises facilitate self-study, he says. He focuses on one of the most important classes of simulation techniques, mesh-free particle-based methods, in particular the molecular dynamics and the Monte Carlo methods.
