De processen worden beschreven met behulp van macro- en microbalansen die in veel gevallen leiden tot differentiaalvergelijkingen. Ook veel aspecten van stromingsleer komen op deze manier aan de orde en zo bereidt het boek ook voor op moderne Computational Fluid Dynamics technieken. Het doel van het boek is ook studenten te trainen in het oplossen van problemen waarbij transportverschijnselen centraal staan. Daartoe bevat het boek bijna 100 uitgewerkte vraagstukken.13332023-02-06T20:42:48Z2024-02-26T14:36:16ZΥπολογιστική Φυσική: Ένα βιβλίο του Κωνσταντίνου Αναγνωστόπουλου - δεύτερη έκδοση<img alt="Read more about Υπολογιστική Φυσική: Ένα βιβλίο του Κωνσταντίνου Αναγνωστόπουλου - δεύτερη έκδοση" title="Υπολογιστική Φυσική: Ένα βιβλίο του Κωνσταντίνου Αναγνωστόπουλου - δεύτερη έκδοση cover image" class="cover " width="353" height="500" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDUyMywicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--83752a9a9a4bb322cdb51b3774837e205ecc0abf/00_master_document_WithCover.pdf.jpg" />Το βιβλίο αυτό είναι μια εισαγωγή στις υπολογιστικές μεθόδους που χρησιμοποιούνται στη φυσική και άλλα επιστημονικά πεδία.

It is addressed to an audience that has already been exposed to the introductory level of college physics, usually taught during the first two years of an undergraduate program in science and engineering. It assumes no prior knowledge of numerical analysis, programming or computers and teaches whatever is necessary for the solution of the problems addressed in the text. It can be used as a textbook in introductory computational physics or scientific computing classes. The book starts with very simple problems in particle motion and ends with an in-depth discussion of advanced techniques used in Monte Carlo simulations in statistical mechanics. The level of instruction rises slowly, while discussing problems like the diffusion equation, electrostatics on the plane, quantum mechanics and random walks. All the material can be taught in two semesters, but a selection of topics can form the material of a one semester course. The book aims to provide the students with the background and the experience needed in order to advance to high performance computing projects in science and engineering. It puts emphasis on hands--on programming of numerical code but also on the production, analysis and interpretation of data. But it also tries to keep the students motivated by considering interesting applications in physics, like chaos, quantum mechanics, special relativity and the physics of phase transitions. There is a C++ and a Fortran edition for the core programming. Data analysis is performed using the powerful tools of the GNU/Linux environment. All the necessary software is open source and freely available. The book and the accompanying software are given under a Creative Commons License/GNU public License as a service to the community. It can be used freely as a whole, or any part of it, in any form, by anyone. There is no official distribution of hard copies, but you can use the printing service of your preference in order produce any number of copies you need for you and/or your students. For the lazy ones, a very nice and cheap paperback can be purchaced from lulu.com, amazon.com and conventional bookstores. The ebook can be read in most electronic devices like your PC, tablet or favorite ebook reader and it is freely available from the book's website.12632022-10-10T14:08:42Z2024-01-22T14:52:34ZPart SM: Statistical Mechanics<img alt="Read more about Part SM: Statistical Mechanics" title="Part SM: Statistical Mechanics cover image" class="cover " width="116" height="150" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDE2OSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--686d8a8615735ce9041e9e16d95be38f3b1243e9/thumbnail.jpeg" />Essential Graduate Physics, Lecture Notes and Problems This Book is brought to you for free and open access by the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Academic Commons.

Most of the topics are presented in their simplest but rigorous form so that students can easily understand the advanced form of these topics when the need arises. Several end-of-chapter problems and chapter examples relate the applications of mathematics to biomedical physics. After mastering the topics of this book, students would be ready to embark on quantitative thinking in various topics of biology and medicine11612022-05-02T14:31:40Z2024-01-22T14:52:31ZFizyka dla szkół wyższych Tom 3<img alt="Read more about Fizyka dla szkół wyższych Tom 3" title="Fizyka dla szkół wyższych Tom 3 cover image" class="cover " width="595" height="689" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MzU5NSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--fef4cde05120a7fac5f38a7601b47d7bd1d57f90/43123.JPG" />Fizyka dla szkół wyższych. Tom 3 dopasowana jest pod względem zakresu i układu treści do typowych kursów wprowadzających z fizyki ogólnej opartych na analizie matematycznej. Podręcznik kładzie nacisk na powiązania między teorią a praktycznymi zastosowaniami, wyjaśniając zagadnienia fizyczne w ciekawy i zrozumiały sposób, lecz z zachowaniem niezbędnego rygoru matematycznego. Liczne, dobrze dobrane przykłady pokazują, jak podejść do zadania, jak wykorzystać wzory i wreszcie jak sprawdzić i uogólnić wynik.
