{"product_id":"science-by-simulation-v2-9781800616684","title":"Science by Simulation Volume 2: Models of Classical Physics","description":"\u003cp\u003eModels of Classical Physics is the second volume of \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScience by Simulation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e. It is a recipe book of mathematical models that can be enlivened by the transmutation of equations into computer code. In this volume, the examples represent the standard canon of Classical Physics (Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Waves and Optics, Electromagnetism) and are based upon paradigm problems and systems that all pre-university and undergraduate STEM students should have the opportunity to experience and, in time, master.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than the 'what' of Science, this book is aimed at the 'how', providing guidance that can be readily applied to projects by students and professionals. Written in a friendly style based upon the author's expertise in teaching and pedagogy, this mathematically rigorous book is designed for readers to follow arguments step by step with stand-alone chapters (and indeed sections) which can be read independently. This approach will provide a tangible and accessible context for the development of a wide range of interconnected mathematical ideas and computing methods that underpin the practice of Science, and Physics in particular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProblem-Solving, Practical Experiments and Computer Simulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Style and Structure of \u003ci\u003eScience by Simulation\u003c\/i\u003e (Volume 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMathematics: The Language of Physics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMechanics:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeginning with Classical Mechanics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBouncing Balls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProjectiles and Constant Acceleration Motion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ladder Problem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Drawbridge Problem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Three Barrels Problem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeebles Wobble But Don't Fall Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Inclined Plane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRolling Down a Slope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlide and Roll the Loop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAtwood Machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Swinging Door\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLagrangian Mechanics, the Brachistochrone and Asymmetric Catenary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Selection of Mechanics Books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThermodynamics:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat Engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewtonian Cooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKinetic Theory and Random Walks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoltzmann's Exponential Statistics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Selection of Thermodynamics Books and Resources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWaves and Ray Optics:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Anatomy of Waves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStanding Waves on Guitar Strings and in Organ Pipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWave Impedance, Reflection and Transmission\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRay Optics: Refraction, Reflection, Lenses and Mirrors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFraunhofer and Fresnel Diffraction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoppler and Mach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater Waves and the Kelvin Wedge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple Harmonic Motion and Resonance in a Driven Mass–Spring System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Selection of Books on Waves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eElectromagnetism:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Cables and Continued Fraction Resistor Networks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Maximum Power Theorem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModelling Electric Fields\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectric and Magnetic Dipoles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacitors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurie, Ising and Ferromagnetism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmpère's Theorem and a Toroidal Inductor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Hall Probe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Mass Spectrometer, the Velocity Selector and the Cyclotron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Frequency Response of a Transformer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResonance in an LCR Circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Fresnel Equations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaxwell's Equations of Electromagnetism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Selection of Electromagnetism Books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAppendix A.
