| Summary: | "Numerical methods have become a major research tool in astrophysics, and astrophysics students need to be fully conversant with a variety of mathematical and computational techniques. This highly practical guide discusses some of the major problems in astrophysics that have to be solved numerically, requiring hydrodynamics, MHD and radiative transfer for their solution. It summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of various techniques that could be used on a given problem and includes examples from recently published solutions, and basic codes, which can be developed into research tools. The book includes a full range of sample problems for the student, making it an ideal course text."--Publisher description. |
