Basics of numerical methods covered in an introductory chapter.Problems are ranked based on computational and physics difficulty.Detailed explanations and solutions in various coding languages.Readers also benefit from the following features: The authors include an introductory chapter on numerical tools and indication of computational and physics difficulty level for each problem.
It’s also intended as a self-study guide for learning how to use computer methods in physics. In order to facilitate integration of computer methods into existing physics courses, this textbook offers a large number of worked examples and problems with fully guided solutions in Python as well as other languages (Mathematica, Java, C, Fortran, and Maple). Our future scientists and professionals must be conversant in computational techniques. (1974), The Non-Linear Diffusion Equation Asymptotic Solutions and Statistical Problems, Reidel, .

Additionally, each chapter is complemented by fully worked problems and solutions, making Trapped Charged Particles perfect for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students new to this topic.
Each individual chapter provides information and guidance on the application of the above methods. Chapters from various world experts include those on the basic properties of Penning traps and RF traps, as well as those covering important practical aspects such as vacuum systems, detection techniques, and different types of particle cooling, including laser cooling. Taken as a whole, the book gives an overview of why traps for charged particles are important, how they work, their special features and limitations, and their application in areas such as precision measurements, mass spectrometry, optical clocks, plasma physics, antihydrogen creation, quantum simulation and quantum information processing. This textbook collates the lectures delivered there, covering the fundamental physics of particle traps and the different types of applications of these devices.
