Contents Building programs in a Linux environment -- Encapsulation and the C++ class -- Some useful classes with applications -- Interpolation and extrapolation -- Numerical quadrature -- How to write a class -- Monte Carlo methods -- Percolation and universality -- Parallel computing -- Graphics for physicists -- Ordinary differential equations -- Polymorphism -- Nonlinear dynamics and chaos -- Rotations and Lorentz transformations -- Simulation -- Data modeling -- Templates, the standard C++ library, and modern C++ -- Many body dynamics -- Continuum dynamics -- Classical spin systems -- Quantum mechanics I-few body systems -- Quantum spin systems -- Quantum mechanics II-many body systems -- Quantum field theory -- Index
Summary A textbook that addresses a wide variety of problems in classical and quantum physics. Modern programming techniques are stressed throughout, along with the important topics of encapsulation, polymorphism, and object-oriented design. Scientific problems are physically motivated, solution strategies are developed, and explicit code is presented
