Summary: Karplus
Review: I haven't, as yet, read this book of Dr. Karplus', but I was one of those fortunate enough to have been a student of his, and I have most of his other books, and many binders of notes from his classes.
Dr. Karplus was one of those minds that inspired awe and humility in his students. He had an incredible breadth and depth of knowledge in so many areas and subjects that it seemed he must have spent every second reading, thinking, and integrating to have created his mind. I was so struck by his achievements, and more, by him personally, that after the last class I took from him I wrote him a letter telling him how much I admired him, and how much of an inspiration he was to me. After he got it, he called me into his office and thanked me, telling me how touched he was.
I was very saddened when I heard of his death, and I'm very glad that his colleagues got together and created this volume. Thank you, gentlemen.
I urge anyone who is interested in the subject of computer modeling and simulation to read this book, or any of Karplus' books. You can't do any better in this area.
