title: Computational Physics
author:  J. M. Thijssen 
description: "The growing importance of computational physics to physics research as a whole will depend not only on increasingly powerful computers, but also on the continuing development of algorithms and numerical techniques for putting these machines to use. Furthermore, physics departments will need to augment their curricula to provide students with the skills needed to perform research using computers....In Computational Physics, Joseph M. Thijssen has produced a book that is well suited to meeting these needs....This book makes it easier to approach a new topic and encourages the reader to consider a modular approach when writing programs."
