ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book discusses various algorithms and methods of computational physics of plasmas. It explains fine-tuned people endeavor by implementing these techniques in actual physics applications. The book describes how these elements constitute building blocks of system of computational physical simulation. Infantile stage is vitally important for students to learn computational physics by practice. Just like an experimental laboratory, numerical laboratory has to consist of many "equipments" and "instruments." These components in numerical laboratory are very numerous and rich in variety, reflecting the hierarchical nature of plasmas. Because of this complexity it has become increasingly important to make a total system as a tree-like structure in which elements of "roots," a "trunk," "branches," and "leaves" are interchangeable or reducible depending on necessary tasks of investigation at hand.
