Bücher der Reihe Oxford Texts in Applied and Engineering Mathematics

This text is aimed at graduate students in mathematics, physics, engineering, economics, finance, and the biosciences that are interested in using Monte-Carlo methods for the resolution of real-life scenarios.

A textbook demonstrating the power of mathematics in solving practical, scientific, and technical problems through mathematical modelling techniques.

Starting from a clear, concise introduction, the powerful finite element and boundary element methods of engineering are developed for application to quantum mechanics. The reader is led through illustrative examples displaying the strengths of these methods using applications to fundamental quantum mechanical problems and to the design/simulation of quantum nanoscale devices.
