Computational physics with python mark newman

We can also code simulations of complex phenomena which we are unable to experiment on directly.
Here we teach the programming language Python as it has a far simpler syntax compared to other languages and is extremely versatile and widely used in research and industry.

Is there a book on computational physics?

What is computational physics & Python?

It includes a range of features tailored for scientific computing, including features for handling vectors, inverting and diagonalizing matrices, performing Fourier transforms, making graphs, and creating 3D graphics

This page contains a selection of resources I've developed for teachers and students interested in computational physics and Python

Why does Newman use Python?

Newman realises that while such discussion is important it can also unnecessarily repel the new student

Unnecessarily, because we now live in an age where Python and Numpy have made computational physics a joy instead of a chore

Newman embraces the Python programming language

He describes each concept with a small Python implementation
