"This well-written handbook provides an overview of the current developments in the practice of MD (both deterministic and stochastic), which makes it a useful reference book for software developers and practitioners of MD simulations." --ComputingReviews.com, January 11, 2013

This book presents the most important and main concepts of the molecular and microsimulation techniques. It enables readers to improve their skills in developing simulation programs by providing physical problems and sample simulation programs for them to use.
