Abstract
In this chapter we describe the computer simulation of matter in the condensed phases, namely in the liquid and solid states. In these states of matter, densities are much higher than in the dilute gas phase and every atom or molecule in the system is always close to a number of other particles. Therefore, since the total intermolecular energy is large and of the same order of magnitude as the kinetic energy for these states of matter, the properties depend strongly on the nature of the intermolecular forces.
