The computer has become the laboratory tool of the theoretical scientist. With it he hopes to learn new things which were previously inaccessible, in very much the same way as an experimentalist employs a piece of equipment. This hope depends to a large extent on the development of new methods designed specifically for the computer. The major aim of this series of books is to collect these techniques which were developed in the solution of physical problems.Contents.
