Computational-Physics Resources

A new article by Rubin H. Landau appeared in American Journal of Physics contains many resources for Computational Physics. I think you should read it!. It has many useful information for students and teachers to do physical simulations. Other articles in the same journal I also found them very interesting!.

Rubin H. Landau (2008): Resource Letter CP-2: Computational Physics,
American Journal of Physics, Volume 76, Issue 4, pp. 296-306
Abstract:
This Resource Letter provides a guide to print and electronic literature relevant to a computational physics course. The multidisciplinary aspect of computational physics and its relation to computational science is reflected in the sections Courses, Programs and Reviews, Journals, Conferences and Organizations, Books, Tools, Languages and Environments, Parallel Computing, and Digital Libraries.

Handbook of Mathematical Functions

For simulations of many physical systems, one might encounter problems that require the use of special functions and mathematical formula. I found the book by Abramowitz and Stegun "Handbook of Mathematical Functions" is very useful. An electronic copy of the tenth printing of this book can be found in the following link:

Solving Schrodinger Equation and Computing Density Matrix

I have written two papers about the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method for solving the Schroedinger equation and for computing the single particle density matrix. I have put these papers in the arXiv.org.
