Description for Numerical Relativity: Solving Einstein´s Equations on the Computer Hardcover. Pedagogical introduction to numerical relativity for students and researchers entering the field, and interested scientists. Num Pages: 720 pages, 97 b/w illus. 68 colour illus. 300 exercises. BIC Classification: PHR; PHVB. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 251 x 195 x 41. Weight in Grams: 1664.
Aimed at students and researchers entering the field, this pedagogical introduction to numerical relativity will also interest scientists seeking a broad survey of its challenges and achievements. Assuming only a basic knowledge of classical general relativity, the book develops the mathematical formalism from first principles, and then highlights some of the pioneering simulations involving black holes and neutron stars, gravitational collapse and gravitational waves. The book contains 300 exercises to help readers master new material as it is presented. Numerous illustrations, many in color, assist in visualizing new geometric concepts and highlighting the results of computer simulations. Summary boxes encapsulate ... Read more

Reviews for Numerical Relativity: Solving Einstein´s Equations on the Computer
'Numerical relativity has come of age in the last few years, and Baumgarte and Shapiro have produced the first textbook on the subject. And what a book this is! Sufficiently complete to be an encyclopedia, yet accessible enough to be a genuine learning manual, the book is exceedingly well written. It covers virtually all aspects of numerical relativity, from formalism ... Read more
