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.

Haskell’s powerful system of types is  capable of encoding important mathematical structures like vectors,  derivatives, integrals, scalar fields, and differential equations. In  addition, you’ll explore Newtonian mechanics and electromagnetics,  analyze source code, and discover why Haskell’s high-order functions and  referential transparency serve physics so well.
