Numerical relativity has emerged as the key tool to model
gravitational waves - recently detected for the first time - that
are emitted when black holes or neutron stars collide. This book
provides a pedagogical, accessible, and concise introduction to the
subject. Relying heavily on analogies with Newtonian gravity,
scalar fields and electromagnetic fields, it introduces key
concepts of numerical relativity in a context familiar to readers
without prior expertise in general relativity. Readers can explore
these concepts by working through numerous exercises, and can see
them 'in action' by experimenting with the accompanying Python
sample codes, and so develop familiarity with many techniques
commonly employed by publicly available numerical relativity codes.
This is an attractive, student-friendly resource for short courses
on numerical relativity, as well as providing supplementary reading
for courses on general relativity and computational physics.
