Monte Carlo Methods in Polymer Reaction Engineering
Autor Joao B. P. Soares, Amanda L. T. Brandao, Mohammed Al-Khayyaten Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 ian 2027
The author, one of the leading experts in the field, teaches readers how to program Monte Carlo algorithms to solve their own specific problems in polymer reaction engineering, starting with simple principles and moving on to more complex examples. Additional educational software is available online.
The handbook is aimed at polymer scientists and engineers in academia and industry, but is of equal interest to PhD students.
