Computer Applications in Physics: With Fortran, Basic and C

by Suresh Chandra

Numerical techniques for performing Interpolation, Differentiation, Integration, Solution of Differential Equations, Roots of Equations, Solution of Simultaneous Equations, Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors of Matrices, Monte Carlo Simulation, Computation of some Special Functions, Statistical Parameters and Statistical Tests are discussed in this text in a systematic manner by using simple language. These techniques have vast applications in Science, Engineering and Technology. FORTAN being the first computer language used for scientific calculations and still in use in most scientific Institutions, Universities and colleges all over the world, as well as BASIC language also being used for scientific calculations in various places are both adopted in this book. Each of the topics are developed in a systematic manner, thus making this text useful for Graduates, Postgraduates and Engineering Students.
