Demonstrates how odd and unusual math problems can be solved by bringing together basic physics ideas and powerful computers. This title looks at how the art of number-crunching has changed since the advent of computers, and how high-speed technology helps to solve conundrums such as the three-body, Monte Carlo, and gambler's ruin problems.
