Sinossi

Polymers occur in many different states and their physical properties are strongly correlated with their conformations. The theoretical investigation of the conformational properties of polymers is a difficult task and numerical methods play an important role in this field. The two major approaches used in the field are molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo methods, and the book includes reviews of both as well as applications to particular polymeric systems. It will be of interest to workers in polymer statistical mechanics and also to a wider audience interested in numerical methods and their application in polymeric systems.
