Computational physics. With examples using Fortran and Matlab. (Q5890553)

This textbook -- written in German language -- presents a successful introduction into the topic of computational physics as well as of the theory of PDE. The presented topic is treated by computer codes written in FORTRAN or MATLAB. One of the objectives of the book consists in showing at examples from various fields of physics the transformation of physical-mathematical problems into computer codes. Starting with basic problems from classical mechanics (chaotic) dynamical systems are investigated. The second part of the textbook is built by field theories like quantum mechanics, irreversible thermodynamics and hydrodynamics up to the self-organizing macroscopic structure formation. One chapter on Monte Carlo methods and their applications in statistical physics closes the spectrum of physical topics. The textbook contains 8 chapters complemented by 4 appendices. The chapters can be studied more or less independently. The chapters include ODE, PDE, mappings, dynamical systems and Monte Carlo methods.NEWLINENEWLINEThe book is provided with a subject index, with a lot of exercises including their solutions. The last ones can be found also on the website of this textbook. This work is suitable for self-studies, too.
