From Newton to Mandelbrot takes the student on a tour of the most important landmarks of theoretical physics: classical, quantum, and statistical mechanics, relativity, electrodynamics, and, the most modern and exciting of all, the physics of fractals. The treatment is confined to the essentials of each area, and short computer programs, numerous problems, and beautiful color illustrations round off this unusual textbook. Ideally suited for a one-year course in theoretical physics it will also prove useful in preparing and revising for exams. This edition is corrected and includes a...

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.

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 (including an introduction to Java).

Computer Simulation and Computer Algebra. Starting from simple examples in classical mechanics, these introductory lectures proceed to simulations in statistical physics (using FORTRAN) and then explain in detail the use of computer algebra (by means of Reduce). This third edition takes into account the most recent version of Reduce (3.4.1) and updates the description of large-scale simulations to subjects such as the 170000 X 170000 Ising model. Furthermore, an introduction to both vector and parallel computing is given.

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 Physik arbeitet und geben dem Studierenden selbst Anregung zum Experimentieren am Computer. Die komprimierte Darstellung sowie 126 Fragen und Aufgaben machen das...

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.
