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. The book contains 300 exercises to help readers master new material as it is presented. 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.
Summary boxes encapsulate some of the most important results for quick reference. Numerous illustrations, many in color, assist in visualizing new geometric concepts and highlighting the results of computer simulations. Applications covered include calculations of coalescing binary black holes and binary neutron stars, rotating stars,
