COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS
In 1999, when we started teaching this course at the Department of Physics in Oslo, Computational Physics and Computational Science in general were still perceived by the majority of physicists and scientists as topics dealing with just mere tools and number crunching, and not as subjects of their own. Practically every undergraduate student in physics has now made a Matlab or Maple simulation of e.g., the pendulum, with or without chaotic motion. These exercises underscore the importance of simulations as a means to gain novel insights into physical systems, especially for those cases where no analytical solutions can be found or an experiment is to complicated or expensive to carry out. Thus, computer simulations are nowadays an integral part of contemporary basic and applied research in the physical sciences. Computation is becoming as important as theory and experiment. We could even strengthen this statement by saying that computational physics, theoretical physics and experimental are all equally important in our daily research and studies of physical systems. Physics is nowadays the unity of theory, experiment and computation. The ability "to compute" is now part of the essential repertoire of research scientists. Several new fields have emerged and strengthened their positions in the last years, such as computational materials science, bioinformatics, computational mathematics and mechanics, computational chemistry and physics and so forth, just to mention a few. To be able to e.g., simulate quantal systems will be of great importance for future directions in fields like materials science and nanotechonology.

Computational Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer
Almost fifteen years have passed since the first edition of this book was written. During the intervening years the literature in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has expanded manyfold. Due in part to greatly enhanced computer power, the general understanding of the capabilities and limitations of algorithms has increased. A number of new ideas and methods have appeared. The authors have attempted to include new developments in this second edition while preserving those fundamental ideas covered in the first edition that remain important for mastery of the discipline. Ninety-five new homework problems have been added. The two part, ten chapter format of the book remains the same, although a shift in emphasis is evident in some of the chapters. The book is still intended to serve as an introductory text for advanced undergraduates and/or first-year graduate students. The major emphasis of the text is on finite-difference/finite-volume methods.

COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS: PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATIONS
First of all I would like to thank my father for the initial motivation to start this project, as well as for his continuous help with the text and especially with the drawings. I thank my former colleagues from the Institute of Design Aerodynamics at the DLR in Braunschweig, Germany Norbert Kroll, Cord Rossow, Jose Longo, Rolf Radespiel and others for the opportunity to learn a lot about CFD and for the stimulating atmosphere. I also thank my colleague Andreas Haselbacher from ALSTOM Power in Daettwil, Switzerland (now at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) for reading and correcting significant parts of the mxiuscript, as well as for many fruitful discussions. I gratefully acknowledge the help of Olaf Brodersen from the DLR in Brauschweig and of Dimitri Mavriplis from ICASE, who provided several pictures of surface grids of transport aircraft configurations.

A Companion to Classical Electrodynamics
A lot of things can be said about Classical Electrodynamics, the third edition, by David J. Jackson. It’s seemingly exhaustive, well researched, and certainly popular. Then, there is a general consensus among teachers that this book is the definitive graduate text on the subject. In my opinion, this is quite unfortunate. The text often assumes familiarity with the material, skips vital steps, and provides too few examples. It is simply not a good introductory text. On the other hand, Jackson was very ambitious. Aside from some notable omissions (such as conformal mapping methods), Jackson exposes the reader to most of classical electro-magnetic theory. Even Thomas Aquinas would be impressed! As a reference, Jackson’s book is great! It is obvious that Jackson knows his stuff, and in no place is this more apparent than in the problems which he asks at the end of each chapter. Sometimes the problems are quite simple or routine, other times difficult, and quite often there will be undaunting amounts of algebra required. Solving these problems is a time consuming endevour for even the quickest reckoners among us. I present this Companion to Jackson as a motivation to other students. These problems can be done! And it doesn’t take Feynmann to do them.

ДЕРЕВЯННЫЙ КОНЬ
«Деревянный конь» — автобиографическая повесть. Ее автор, английский писатель и путешественник Эрик Уильямс (род. 1911), во время Второй мировой войны служил в авиации, был сбит в бою над территорией Германии, взят в плен и отправлен в немецкий лагерь для военнопленных. О пребывании в этом лагере и побеге из него Уильямс рассказал в нескольких книгах, опубликованных после войны; одна из них — «Деревянный конь» — заслужила наибольшую известность и в сокращенном виде предлагается учащимся.

COMBUSTION PHYSICS
In the past several decades, combustion has evolved from a scientific discipline that was largely empirical to one that is quantitative and predictive. These advances are characterized by the canonical formulation of the theoretical foundation; the strong interplay between theory, experiment, and computation; and the unified description of the roles of fluid mechanics and chemical kinetics. This graduate-level text incorporates these advances in a comprehensive treatment of the fundamental principles of combustion physics. The presentation emphasizes analytical proficiency and physical insight, with the former achieved through complete, though abbreviated, derivations at different levels of rigor, and the latter through physical interpretations of analytical solutions, experimental observations, and computational simulations. Exercises are designed to strengthen the student’s mastery of the theory. Implications of the fundamental knowledge on practical phenomena are discussed whenever appropriate. These distinguishing features provide a solid foundation for an academic program in combustion science and engineering.

CLASSICAL MECHANICS
The first edition of this text appeared in 1950, and it was so well received that it went through a second printing the very next year. Throughout the next three decades it maintained its position as the acknowledged standard text for the introductory Classical Mechanics course in graduate level physics curricula through- out the United States, and in many other countries around the world. Some major institutions also used it for senior level undergraduate Mechanics. Thirty years later, in 1980, a second edition appeared which was "a through-going revision of the first edition." The preface to the second edition contains the following statement: "I have tried to retain, as much as possible, the advantages of the first edition while taking into account the developments of the subject itself, its position in the curriculum, and its applications to other fields." This is the philosophy which has guided the preparation of this third edition twenty more years later. The second edition introduced one additional chapter on Perturbation Theory, and changed the ordering of the chapter on Small Oscillations. In addition it added a significant amount of new material which increased the number of pages by about 68%. This third edition adds still one more new chapter on Nonlinear Dynamics or Chaos, but counterbalances this by reducing the amount of material in several of the other chapters, by shortening the space allocated to appendices, by considerably reducing the bibliography, and by omitting the long lists of symbols. Thus the third edition is comparable in size to the second.
