Since their inception, electronic computers have enormously increased their performance, thus making possible the unprecedented technological revolution that characterizes our present times. This obvious technological advancement has brought with it a silent scientific revolution in the practice of theoretical physics. In particular, in the physics of matter it has opened up a direct route from the microscopic physical laws to observable phenomena. One can now study the time evolution of systems composed of millions of molecules, and simulate the behaviour of macroscopic materials and actually predict their properties. Molecular simulation has provided a new theoretical and conceptual tool that physicists could only dream of when the foundations of statistical mechanics were laid. Molecular simulation has undergone impressive development, both in the size of the scientific community involved and in the range and scope of its applications. It has become the ubiquitous workhorse for investigating the nature of complex condensed matter systems in physics, chemistry, materials and the life sciences. Yet these developments remain largely unknown outside the inner circles of practitioners, and they have so far never been described for a wider public. The main objective of this book is therefore to offer a reasonably comprehensive reconstruction of the early history of molecular simulation addressed to an audience of both scientists and interested non-scientists, describing the scientific and personal trajectories of the main protagonists and discussing the deep conceptual innovations that their work produced. 410 0$aThe Frontiers Collection,$x1612-3018 606 $aPhysics 606 $aChemistry, Physical and theoretical 606 $aComputer simulation 606 $aSociophysics 606 $aEconophysics 606 $aNumerical and Computational Physics, Simulation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19021 606 $aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000 606 $aTheoretical and Computational Chemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C25007 606 $aPopular Science in Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q29000 606 $aSimulation and Modeling$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I19000 606 $aData-driven Science, Modeling and Theory Building$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33030 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aChemistry, Physical and theoretical. 615 0$aComputer simulation. 615 0$aSociophysics. 615 0$aEconophysics. 615 14$aNumerical and Computational Physics, Simulation. 615 24$aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics. 615 24$aTheoretical and Computational Chemistry. 615 24$aPopular Science in Physics. 615 24$aSimulation and Modeling. 615 24$aData-driven Science, Modeling and Theory Building. 676 $a530 700 $aBattimelli$b Giovanni$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$066146 702 $aCiccotti$b Giovanni$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aGreco$b Pietro$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739404303321 996 $aComputer Meets Theoretical Physics$92182050 997 $aUNINA
