This book covers the techniques of computer simulations of disordered systems. It describes how one performs Monte Carlo simulations in condensed matter physics and deals with spin-glasses, percolating networks and the random field Ising model. Other methods mentioned are molecular dynamics and Brownian dynamics. Use of flow-diagrams enables the reader to grasp both the problem and its solution more readily. The book deals with highly complicated problems at a relatively simple level and will be most useful for advanced undergraduate and other courses in computational modelling.Contents:IntroductionElementary Probability and StatisticsNumerical IntegrationThermodynamicsStatistical MechanicsModel SystemsDisordered Model SystemsMonte Carlo SimulationsReadership: Researchers in physics, chemistry, biology and computer modelling in general.Key Features:A leading resource for those who intend to study, practice and excel in intensive care medicineAn authoritative and comprehensive guide presented in a readable and concise style.
