# Newman Computational Physics in Rust
Hello! Welcome to my self study resources for [Newman Computational Physics (2013)](https://websites.umich.edu/~mejn/cp/). This repository uses Rust and Jupyter notebooks (powered by Python) to work the examples and exercises from the book.
## Index
* Chapter 5
- [Exercise 2](./src/ch05/ch05_exercise02.rs)
- [Exercise 3](./src/ch05/ch05_exercise03.rs) (Outputs: [3b](./out_ch05_exercise03_b.png))
- [Exercise 4](./src/ch05/ch05_exercise04.rs) (Outputs: [4a](./out_ch05_exercise04_a.png), [4b](./out_ch05_exercise04_b.png))
- Exercise 5 ([Notebook](./src/ch05/ch05_exercise05.ipynb))
- [Exercise 6](./src/ch05/ch05_exercise06.rs)
- [Exercise 7](./src/ch05/ch05_exercise07.rs) (Outputs: [bonus](./out_ch05_exercise07_bonus.png))
- [Exercise 8](./src/ch05/ch05_exercise08.rs)
- [Exercise 9](./src/ch05/ch05_exercise09.rs) (Outputs: [9b](./out_ch05_exercise09_b.png))
- [Exercise 10](./src/ch05/ch05_exercise10.rs) ([Notebook](./src/ch05/ch05_exercise10.ipynb), Outputs: [10b](./out_ch05_exercise10_b.png))
- [Exercise 11](./src/ch05/ch05_exercise11.rs) (Outputs: [11](./out_ch05_exercise11.png))
- [Example 3](./src/ch05/ch05_example03.rs)
- [Exercise 12](./src/ch05/ch05_exercise12.rs) ([Notebook](./src/ch05/ch05_exercise12.ipynb))
- [Exercise 13](./src/ch05/ch05_exercise13.rs) (Outputs: [13a](./out_ch05_exercise13_a.png), [13b](./out_ch05_exercise13_b.png))
- Exercise 14 ([Notebook](./src/ch05/ch05_exercise14.ipynb))
## Running
For example,
```
cargo run --bin ch05_exercise03
```
## Numerical Methods
The following numerical methods are implemented as part of this codebase:
* Module `rust_newman_computational_physics::utils::integrate`
- [`integrate_gaussian_quadrature`](./src/utils/integrate/integrate_gaussian_quadrature.rs)
- [`integrate_gaussian_quadrature_adaptive`](./src/utils/integrate/integrate_gaussian_quadrature.rs)
- [`integrate_simpsons_rule`](./src/utils/integrate/integrate_simpsons_rule.rs)
- [`integrate_simpsons_rule_adaptive`](./src/utils/integrate/integrate_simpsons_rule.rs)
- [`integrate_trapezoidal_rule`](./src/utils/integrate/integrate_trapezoidal_rule.rs)
- [`integrate_trapezoidal_rule_adaptive`](./src/utils/integrate/integrate_trapezoidal_rule.rs)
- [`integrate_romberg_adaptive`](./src/utils/integrate/integrate_trapezoidal_rule.rs)
## Rust Dependencies
The `plotters` dependency may require you to additionally install `fontconfig` development files.
For me, that required `apt-get install libfontconfig-dev`.
## Python Dependencies
To set up a Python virtual environment for Jupyter notebooks, from the root of this project:
```
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
```
Then install dependencies:
```
pip install jupyter matplotlib numpy scipy
```
When returning to the project, activate your Python virtual environment again:
```
source venv/bin/activate
```
Notebooks are distributed throughout the project, so you can open up Jupyter in the root of this project:
```
jupyter notebook
```
