Computer Simulation in Physics: Numerical Techniques and FORTRAN

This book is motivated to meet the challenge of information and communication technology for higher education. It introduces the application of numerical techniques using FORTRAN ramming to perform simulation of Physics problems related to mechanics, waves, optics, electricity, magnetism, electronic circuits, quantum physics, nuclear physics and random systems. The book will be very useful for computational physics courses. Problems at the end of each chapter have been given for further practice of computer simulation on a PC. A CD containing rams of the problems, which are written in FORTRAN 77, followed by the graphics rams will further enhance the utility of this book for interactive learning physics. Students are not expected to have any knowledge of computer ramming.
