available in my office daily at least 12-4 and am happy to schedule
appointments if you want to be sure to find me.) IMPORTANT: You will NEED to know how to program in either
Fortran or C—this year I will NOT teach beginning programming. (For
that please take PHYS 317). However, you can teach yourself. You can use any
textbook on Fortran, such as Structured Fortran 77 for Engineers and
Scientists, 5th
edition, Delores M. Etter, or these
postscript notes on Fortran by Clive Page of the Recommended resource books on
COMPUTATIONAL physics: * Numerical Recipes (in Fortran,
also in C), Press et al Fortran version
available on-line here * Computational Physics, Koonin
and Meredith (AVAILABLE on 24-hr reserve in
Love Library) Also on 24-hr reserve: * Numerical Methods for Physics, A. Garcia * A First Course in Computational Physics, P. DeVries * Introduction to Computational Physics, T. Pang Last updated Nov 16, 2006 |
