Computers and computation are extremely important components of physics and should be integral parts of a physicist's education. Furthermore, computation physics is reshaping the way calculations are made in all areas of physics. Intended for the physics and engineering students who have completed the introductory physics course, A First Course in Computational Physics, Second Edition covers the different types of computational problems using MATLAB with exercises developed around problems of physical interest.
