Release Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the decade since two of us wrote the book Computational Physics (CP), we
have seen a good number of computational physics texts and courses come into
existence. This is good. Multiple texts help define a still-developing field and
provide a choice of viewpoints and focus. After perusing the existing texts, we
decided that the most worthwhile contribution we could make was to extend our CP
text so that it surveys many of the topics we hear about at computational
science conferences. Doing that, while still keeping the level of presentation
appropriate for upper-division undergraduates or beginning graduate students,
was a challenge.
