Computer Simulation Using Particles - Hockney, R. W

. .

Résumé :
The Trainer's Workshop Series is designed to be a practical, hands-on roadmap to help you quickly develop training in key business areas. Each book in the series offers all the exercises, handouts, assessments, structured experiences and ready-to-use presentations needed to develop effective training sessions. In addition to easy-to-use icons, each book in the series includes a companion CD-ROM with PowerPoint presentations and electronic copies of all supporting material featured in the book.Leadership Training offers both background knowledge and the practical help you need to create strong leadership training at all levels within the organization. Presenting the most up-to-date training methodologies such as accelerated learning, this guide also provides methods for assessing leadership strengths and weaknesses. Contains exercises, handouts, assessments and tools to help you: develop strong leaders at all organisational levels encourage growth of key leadership competencies become a more effective and efficient facilitator ensure training is on target and gets results This book is a wonderful resource for putting together a first-rate leadership development programme or adding to an existing one.Nadine W.

Biographie:
Roger Hockney obtained his BA and MA in the Natural Science Tripos (Physics) from Cambridge University and his PhD in 'Numerical Analysis and Plasma Physics' from Stanford University. He was Professor of Computer Science at Reading University, England, from 1970 to 1985 when he led a research team, supported by the UK Science Research Council, developing simulation methods using particles and implementing them on the new generation of parallel computers. In 1985, he took early retirement in order to concentrate on his own work, and accept visiting appointments. James Eastwood acquired his BSc and PhD from Imperial College, London University. From 1972 to 1978 he worked with Professor Hockney at Reading University, and since 1978 he has pursued computational plasma physics research at Culham Laboratory. He is currently Editor of the Journal of Computer Physics Communications and a Committee member of The Institute of Physics Computational Physics Group....
