Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"Authors' aim for this book was to present the necessary numerical techniques of molecular dynamics in a compact form, to enable readers to write their own programs in the programming language C, implement these programs on parallel computers using MPI, and be motivated to repeat the presented numerical experiments ... . This goal has certainly been achieved and the book is strongly recommended both for individual study and as the basis for a graduate course for a wide range of computational mathematics and physics students."
