Authors:
Entirely self-contained: the basic ideas of quantum mechanics and statistical mechanices are introduced and developed and numerical techniques, such as multigrids and genetic computing, are explained in a manner that is comprehensible to readers who have had no previous contact with these subjects
Case studies show how the numerical techniques can be tailored to the specific problems of device modelling
Includes sections of computer code, written in C++, and written in a simple and transparent way so that the reader can re-write it in his or her own favourite programming language
Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“The book covers a wide spectrum of topics that are fundamental for modelling and simulation of semiconductor electron devices … . It is addressed to undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics and electrical engineering as well as researchers who would like to get different perspectives on the subject. … The monograph is self-contained since a standard background in calculus is enough to read it. This is surely a good textbook for Ph.D. students in applied mathematics.” (Vittorio Romano, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011 e)
“This well-written book involves the basic physical theory of semiconductor device modelling and the numerical methods to solve the corresponding equations. … Problems are formulated to improve the skill of the reader … . In order to support the reader, in the implementation of the methods, some simple codes written in C++ are included. … A great advantage of this monograph consists in the presentation of the whole cycle of semiconductor device modelling … .” (Georg Hebermehl, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1252, 2012)
