Computational Physics

A complete introduction to the field of computational physics, with examples and exercises in the Python programming language. Computers play a central role in virtually every major physics discovery today, from astrophysics and particle physics to biophysics and condensed matter. This book explains the fundamentals of computational physics and describes in simple terms the techniques that every physicist should know, such as finite difference methods, numerical quadrature, and the fast Fourier transform. The book offers a complete introduction to the topic at the undergraduate level, and is also suitable for the advanced student or researcher who wants to learn the foundational elements of this important field.

這本書是一本關於計算物理學的完整介紹，並以Python程式語言提供範例和練習。電腦在當今幾乎所有重要的物理發現中扮演著核心角色，從天體物理學和粒子物理學到生物物理學和凝聚態物理學。本書以簡單的方式解釋了計算物理學的基礎知識，並描述了每位物理學家都應該了解的技術，例如有限差分法、數值積分和快速傅立葉變換。本書在大學本科水平上提供了對這一主題的完整介紹，同時也適合進階學生或研究人員學習這一重要領域的基礎元素。
