Hi, I posted this to sci.physics and alt.sci.physics and got nowhere; perhaps the much more friendly and helpful crowd here can help me. I know that a lot of pythonistas are, in fact, scientists.
I am a non-traditional, undergraduate physics (and math) student with 20+ years of professional software development behind me. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good book from which my professor and I can construct a one-semester independent study course on computational physics? Since this will be in the physics department at school, we are more concerned with the direct applicability of the material to physics rather than an extensive study of numerical methods from a strictly mathematical or computer science point of view. Also, while I am not afraid to learn yet another computer language, a steep learning curve in that area would probably end up detracting from the physics aspects of the course. If you know of some place I can go in order to find the right questions to ask (and possibly the right place to ask them!), then don't be afraid to let me know that, too.
