Although this is primarily a volume for specialists in nuclear physics computation, it is sufficiently well larded with accounts of the relevance and results of the various methods to extend its appeal to a wider reading public. Chapters are provided on nuclear optical model calculations, numerical methods for the many-body theory of finite nuclei, application of the matrix Hartree–Fock method to problems in nuclear structure, variational calculations in few-body problems with the Monte Carlo method, automated nuclear shell model calculations and nucleon-nucleon phase shift analyses by x2 minimization.
