Review

' The book is comprehensive, thorough and readable...succeeds in its purpose admirably.' Chemistry in Britain

Book Description

Computer simulation is an essential tool in studying the chemistry and physics of liquids. Simulations allow us to develop models and to test them against experimental data. They can be used to evaluate approximate theories of liquids, and to provide detailed information on the structure and dynamics of model liquids at the molecular level. This book is an introduction and practical guide to the molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo methods. The first four chapters describe these methods in detail, and provide the essential background in intermolecular forces and statistical mechanics. Chapters 5 and 6 emphasize the practical aspects of writing efficient programs and analysing the simulation results. The remaining chapters cover advanced techniques, non-equilibrium methods, Brownian dynamics, quantum simulations, and some important applications. FORTRAN code is presented in the text.

5.0 out of 5 stars I recommend it with no hesitation., May 16 1999
This review is from: Computer Simulation of Liquids (Paperback)
It's the book to have if you want to learn computer simulation. It covers both Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics, from the start for the beginner. It also includes more advanced topics, but is definitely focused on studying fluids and not solids. The code is written in Fortran. If you program in C I suggest Rapaport's book, but this one is a definite must read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, needs an update, Aug 5 2000
This review is from: Computer Simulation of Liquids (Paperback)
One of the most influential books on MD and MC, a little outdated by the year, a second edition would be welcome.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could be better..., April 10 2000
By T. Jain "tootse" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Computer Simulation of Liquids (Hardcover)
It is a good book in general, but i feel it assumes an intermediate to advanced level of knowledge of the subject.

Quite often the explanations are not elaborate enough to understand the method discussed. A slightly more elaborate treatment would make this a first rate book.
