Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Development of the theory and methods in numerical relativity, including a brief introduction to Einstein's equations, their space-plus-time (3+1) decomposition for numerical purposes, issues of numerical stability, reformulations of the 3+1 equations, and their applications. The applications will primarily focus on black hole spacetimes.Attendance (in parallel) of the course `General Theory of Relativity and Cosmology' (former `Relativity and Cosmology II' or `Rela II') is strongly encouraged.
Assessment and permitted materials
Oral exam.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The student will write a summary of their knowledge on two topics, randomly assigned from those covered in the lecture. The minimum requirements include familiarity with basic concepts and techniques in numerical relativity, particularly those related to black hole spacetimes. Each topic will be marked out of a maximum of 5 points.Grading key:
