5.0 out of 5 starsA great book for begginers.
By saras@servidor.unam.mx on May 16, 1999
Format: Paperback
As it's name implies this book covers only elementary methods, and this makes it extremely useful for beginners. Particularly higher undergraduate and graduate students with no previous knowledge of computer simulation methods. It is very kind with the reader, being very explicit on many topics other books take for granted. The sections on hard sphere simulation are particularly long compared with other books on the subject. The code included is very well organized and helpful, every book should have it documented this way!. If you program in fortran it's very useful, but if you program in C I recommend Rapaport's book instead, altough it's a little more difficult. I particularly liked the introduction about simulation and some phylosophical aspects of it.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat introduction
By wiredweird HALL OF FAMETOP 1000 REVIEWER on April 26, 2005
Format: Paperback
If you're just getting started in molecular dynamics, especially if it's not really where you wanted to be in the first place, this may be the book for you.

The pace is brisk. Readers unsure of their calculus or Newtonian physics may struggle. The brief first chapter addresses the basics: what are the questions, which ones can computation address, and with what result. Chapters two to five develop successively more refined models up through Lennard-Jones soft-sphere models. That puts the reader about half-way through the book, to the point where it becomes less about physics and more about real chemistry. The next two chapters deal with the basics of thermodynamics and a bit on evaluating stability of the computed results.

The last third of the book is mostly appendices. The first three are decidedly of interest to the chemistry beginner, but the next dozen or so could have been dropped with no harm to the book's main content. "A Random-Number Generator" and "Conventions for Naming Variables in Fortran" are redundant and irrelevant (respectively) in most contemporary computing environments. If someone needs computing advice at that level, they're probably not ready for the load this book presents.

What's good is very good, though. The introduction material is sensible and adequately rigorous, with many and varied references at the end of each chapter. My interest in computational chemistry is mostly in the computation, not in the chemistry. Given that computational chemistry is a huge field, Haile has done a good job of keeping a sharp focus on one range of techniques and on a specific level of reader.

5.0 out of 5 starsGood for the Molecular Dynamics beginner
By John White on November 19, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
It provided the detailed information that I needed to write a successful simulation program. (Most other references that I have found regarding MD calculations assume a more knowledgeable or expert reader.

5.0 out of 5 starsLa mejor introduccion a la materia
By Gabriel Jesus Sanjurjo Prieto on November 5, 2009
Format: Paperback
Este libro es el mejor que he econtrado para introducirte en el mundo de la simulacion de la dinamica molecular. Si bien hay muchos temas que no trata, como la simulacion en otros colectivos que no sean el colectivo microcanonico, la simulacion ab initio, etc, es sin duda el libro mas recomendado para los que comienzan sus andaduras en esta materia. Lo recomiendo sin duda a todo aquel que tenga curiosidad por el tema o se dedique profesionalmente a la simulacion de dinamica molecular, como texto de iniciacion. Posteriormente puede seguirse el estudio por textos como los de Frenkel y Smit o el de Allen y Tildesley, dos grandes textos para esta materia.
