Description of  Learn Physics with Functional Programming: A Hands-on Guide to Exploring Physics with Haskell

Deepen your understanding of physics by learning to use the Haskell functional programming language. This book teaches you to solve physics problems using the functional programming paradigm. Ideal for first-time programmers and science aficionados alike, it introduces the Haskell programming language and encourages the writing of beautiful code to match the elegant ideas of theoretical physics. Haskells powerful system of types is capable of encoding important mathematical structures like vectors, derivatives, integrals, scalar fields, and differential equations. In addition, youll explore Newtonian mechanics and electromagnetics, analyze source code, and discover why Haskells high-order functions and referential transparency serve physics so well. Read more
