Preface
Computers have e an integral part of modern physics. They help to acquire,
store, and process enormous amounts of experimental data. Algebra programs have
e very powerful and give the physician the knowledge of many mathemati-
cians at hand. Traditionally physics has been divided into experimental physics
which observes phenomena occurring in the real world and theoretical physics
which uses mathematical methods and simplified models to explain the exp
