Description

This overview introduces the reader to current fields, including molecular dynamics, hybrid Monte-Carlo algorithms and neural networks. Exercises provide hands-on advice for effective program solutions from a small number of lines to demonstration programs with elaborate graphics. It shows how questions concerning, for example, ageing, many-minima optimization or phase transitions can be treated by appropriate tools. The source code and demonstration graphics are included on a 3.5" MS-DOS diskette.
