Numerical Methods In Astrophysics: An Introduction

Outlines various fundamental numerical methods that solve gravitational dynamics, hydrodynamics, and radiation transport equations. This book shows which methods are 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.
