Computer Simulation and Computer Algebra Lectures for Beginners

Computer Simulation and Computer Algebra Lectures for Beginners / by Dietrich Stauffer, Friedrich W Hehl, Volker Winkelmann, John G. Zabolitzky.

Computers play an increasingly important role in many of today's activities, and correspondingly physicists find employment after graduation in computer­ related jobs, often quite remote from their physics education. The present lectures, on the other hand, emphasize how we can use computers fo...
