Aneesur Rahman
Aneesur Rahman pioneered the application of computational methods to physical systems. His 1964 paperon liquid argon studied a system of 864 argon atoms on a CDC 3600 computer, utilizing a Lennard-Jones potential. His algorithms still form the basis for many codes written today...

Physics
Physics is a natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through spacetime, along with related concepts such as energy and force. More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves.Physics is one of the oldest academic...
