Abstract
SIAM Review, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 204-205, March 2025. Numerical Methods in Physics with Python by Alex Gezerlis is an excellent example of a textbook built on long and established teaching experience. The goals are clearly defined in the preface: Gezerlis aims to gently introduce undergraduate physics students to the branch of numerical methods and their concrete implementation in Python. To this end, the author considers a physics-applications-first approach. Every chapter begins with a motivation section on real physics problems (simple but adequate for undergraduate students), ends with a concrete project on a physics application, and is completed by a rich list of exercises often designed with a physics appeal.
期刊介绍：
Survey and Review feature papers that provide an integrative and current viewpoint on important topics in applied or computational mathematics and scientific computing. These papers aim to offer a comprehensive perspective on the subject matter.
Research Spotlights publish concise research papers in applied and computational mathematics that are of interest to a wide range of readers in SIAM Review. The papers in this section present innovative ideas that are clearly explained and motivated. They stand out from regular publications in specific SIAM journals due to their accessibility and potential for widespread and long-lasting influence.
