Nowadays, with ever-increasing power of computer and new computation methods,computational science is part of the necessary curriculum for materials science students. This textbook is an introduction to practical computational science for non-specialist materials science students and engineers. Written in a light-hearted and accessible style, the book minimizes the use of difficult-to-penetrate equations and theories. The author presents materials properties calculations using the 3 main computer programs used by materials scientists - XMD, LAMMPS and VASP. Ample worked examples, case studies and homework problems supplement the text and clarify the material.
