Computer Simulation in Physics And Engineering

This book presents lecture notes from the XVI ‘Jacques-Louis Lions’ Spanish-French School on Numerical Simulation in Physics and Engineering, held in Pamplona (Navarra, Spain) in September 2014.

Computer simulation is increasingly used in physics and engineering to predict the probable outcome of experiments and to aid in their interpretation. The methods of simulation are based on a range of numerical techniques for treating ordinary and partial differential equations. Since much of physics can be broken down into a relatively small set of fundamental equations, a few general methods can be widely applied.

The book consists chapters illustrating a wide range of areas where MATLAB tools are applied. Many interesting problems have been included throughout the book, and its contents will be beneficial for students and professionals in wide areas of interest.
