商品描述
Numerical calculations (what many call computational physics) is a core tool in modern physics. With numerical methods it's possible to solve problems that would otherwise be impossible. Most physics students and educators have at least some exposure to the wave equation. It shows up in many different contexts--light, quantum mechanics, and even a simple wave on a string. However, it can be difficult to come up with non-trivial solutions to the wave equation. This text goes through the techniques to create a numerical model of the wave equation starting from the very basics and using free and open source tools such as Python and Web VPython.

數值計算（許多人稱之為計算物理）是現代物理學中的核心工具。透過數值方法，可以解決那些否則無法解決的問題。大多數物理學學生和教育工作者至少對波動方程有一些了解。它出現在許多不同的情境中——光、量子力學，甚至是一根弦上的簡單波。然而，提出波動方程的非平凡解可能會很困難。本書將從最基本的概念開始，介紹創建波動方程數值模型的技術，並使用免費和開源的工具，如 Python 和 Web VPython。
作者簡介
Rhett Allain is an Associate Professor of Physics at Southeastern Louisiana. Besides his role as a physics educator, he is also an active science communicator. In 2010, Allain began writing about fun and interesting physics topics on WIRED.com. These initial blog posts lead to other opportunities including becoming the science advisor for both MythBusters and CBS MacGyver. He maintains an active YouTube channel (Dot Physics) and also writes at medium.com. In his spare time, he likes to take things apart but he can't always put them back together.
