Produktbeschreibung
This book is a status report. It provides a broad overview of the most recent developments in the field, spanning a wide range of topical areas in simulational condensed matter physics. These areas include recent developments in simulations of classical statistical mechanics models, electronic structure calculations, quantum simulations, and simulations of polymers. Both new physical results and novel simulational and data analysis methods are presented. Some of the highlights of this volume include detailed accounts of recent theoretical developments in electronic structure calculations, novel quantum simulation techniques and their applications to strongly interacting lattice fermion models, and a wide variety of applications of existing methods as well as novel methods in the simulation of classical statistical mechanics models, including spin glasses and polymers.
Hundreds of novel and innovative computer algebra "recipes" will enable readers starting at the second year undergraduate level to easily and rapidly solve and explore most problems they encounter in their classical mechanics studies. Using the powerful computer algebra system MAPLE (Release 8) - no prior knowledge of MAPLE is presumed - the relevant command structures are explained on a need-to-know basis as the recipes are developed. This new problem-solving guide can serve in the classroom or for self-study, for reference, or as a text for an on-line course.

Rezensionen
"[The authors'] purpose is not simply to rehash...classical topics, but rather to show how a computer algebra system (CAS) may be used as a pedagogical tool to carry out both standard numerical computations and complicated symbolic manipulations in the context of classical mechanics.... Other interesting features of the book include the use of a relevant quotation at the beginning of each section and the creation of story problems to introduce and illustrate virtually every topic, making the book more readable and accessible to students. ...Recommended."

-Choice

". . . it can be a very useful complementary tool to classical lectures in the field of classical mechanics. Using this text as a unique basis for a course in classical mechanics is possible . . ."

-Mathematical Reviews

"This is a textbook discussing the use of computer algebra for computations in elementary classical mechanics. It is based on the system Maple 8; no prior knowledge of it is required. . . . The book gives a solid introduction into the basic use of Maple. . . . The book should serve well as an exercise or lab book accompanying a standard course on elementary classical mechanics."
