Description:

This introductory book on computational physics offers a clear overview of basic concepts suitable for beginners. It is written in a way that makes it easy for students to understand. The examples of computational physics problems provide practical experience for learners. The book includes details about computers and programming in Fortran and Python. It also explains control flow statements and visualisation platforms such as Gnuplot and Matplotlib. Additionally, there is a chapter on the LaTeX document preparation system and Appendices covering common numerical methods used in computational physics. As a result, this book offers a comprehensive syllabus for a computational physics course that helps students develop their skills. It is primarily intended as an introductory textbook for undergraduate students of physics enrolled in a skill enhancement course on computational physics under NEP 2020. This book will also be very useful for researchers working in physics areas that involve simulation and modelling.
