Description
Computational Statistical Mechanics describes the use of fast computers to simulate the equilibrium and nonequilibrium properties of gases, liquids, and solids at, and away from equilibrium. The underlying theory is developed from basic principles and illustrated by applying it to the simplest possible examples. Thermodynamics, based on the ideal gas thermometer, is related to Gibb's statistical mechanics through the use of Nose -Hoover heat reservoirs. These reservoirs use integral feedback show more to control temperature. The same approach is carried through to the simulation and anal show lessTags
