Optional textbooks¶
The labs in this course are meant to be self-contained. If you’d like additional information/greater depth here are some texts that we have found useful:
Computational Physics with Python Amazon.ca link
Comprehensive treatment of our course topics using physics-examples (but obviously the techniques and equations apply to all disciplines). Good python intro material in Chapters 2 and 3 can be downloaded at the author’s website.
Introduction to applied mathematics, Gilbert Strang Compact chapters on ordinary differential equations and linear algebra
