<b>Book Review:</b> Numerical Methods in Physics with Python. Second Edition
Numerical Methods in Physics with Python by Alex Gezerlis is an excellent example of a textbook built on long and established teaching experience. The goals are clearly defined in the preface: Gezerlis aims to gently introduce undergraduate physics students to the branch of numerical methods and their concrete implementation in Python. To this end, the author considers a physics-applications-first approach. Every chapter begins with a motivation section on real physics problems (simple but adequate for undergraduate students), ends with a concrete project on a physics application, and is completed by a rich list of exercises often designed with a physics appeal.
