For this set of lectures we assumed that the reader has a
reasonable back ground in physics and some knowledge of general
relativity, the modern theory of gravity in macrophysics, and
cosmology. Computer methods are present ed by leading experts in
the three main domains: in numerics, in computer algebra, and in
visualization. The idea was that each of these subdisciplines is
introduced by an extended set of main lectures and that each is
conceived as being of comparable 'importance. Therefpre we believe
that the book represents a good introduction into scientific I
computing for any student who wants to specialize in relativity,
gravitation, and/or astrophysics. We took great care to select
lecturers who teach in a comprehensible way and who are, at the
same time, at the research front of their respective field. In
numerics we had the privilege of having a lecturer from the
National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA, Champaign,
IL, USA) and some from other leading institutions of the world;
visualization was taught by a visualization expert from Boeing; and
in com puter algebra we took recourse to practitioners of different
computer algebra systems as applied to classical general relativity
up to quantum gravity and differential geometry.
