Numerical Methods in Astrophysics: An Introduction [With CDROM]

by Michal Rozyczka, Harold W. Yorke, Peter H. Bodenheimer, et al.

Numerical Methods in Astrophysics: An Introduction outlines various fundamental numerical methods that can solve gravitational dynamics, hydrodynamics, and radiation transport equations. This resource indicates which methods are most suitable for particular problems, demonstrates what the accuracy requirements are in numerical simulations, and suggests ways to test for and reduce the inevitable negative effects. After an introduction to the basic...
