A Collection of recipes could be called a cookbook, but Daan Frenkel and Berend Smit's book achieves more than that. By explaining the physics behind the algorithms, the authors let you learn how molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulation methods work, how to apply these methods in a sensible way and what information can be extracted from them. Although computer simulation, lying between analytical theory and experiment, is now regarded as the third branch science, it is still viewed with skepticism some researchers precisely because of this interdisciplinary character.
