In the decade since two of us wrote the book Computational Physics (CP), we<br />
have seen a good number of computational physics texts and courses come into<br />
existence. This is good. Multiple texts help define a still-developing field and <br />
provide a choice of viewpoints and focus. After perusing the existing texts, we <br />
decided that the most worthwhile contribution we could make was to extend our CP <br />
text so that it surveys many of the topics we hear about at computational <br />
science conferences. Doing that, while still keeping the level of presentation <br />
appropriate for upper-division undergraduates or beginning graduate students, <br />
was a challenge.<br />
