But the real reason is that the subject is enjoyable, and although wehumans cut nature up in different ways, and we have differentcourses in different departments, suchcompartmentalization is really artificial, and we should take our intellectual pleasures where we Feynman, The Laws of a preface you may ask? Isn t that just a mere exposition ofa raison d etre of anauthor s choice of material, preferences, biases, teaching philosophy To a large extent Ican answer in the affirmative to that. A preface ought to be personal. Indeed, what you willsee in the various chapters of these notes represents how I perceive Computational physicsshould be set of lecture notes serves the scope of presenting to you and train you in an algorith-mic approach to problems in the sciences, represented here by the unity of three disciplines, Physics , mathematics and informatics.
Python is now emerging as a good alternative although C++ and Fortran still outperform ... science, bioinformatics, computational mathematics and mechanics, computational chemistry and physics and so forth, just to mention a few. These fields underscore the importance of sim-
