Relativity:1
 Introduction to 3+1 Numerical Relativity (International Series of Monographs on Physics) $110.00 This is an excellent graduate level textbook on numerical (classical) gravity dynamics. Its main features are clarity and pedagogy. The author starts with a review of general relativity. Although he says this is not intended to be a substitute for a full course on the subject, I found that in this chapter his exposition is more clear, motivated and pedagogical than many other more specifically targeted books I know. His text is structured, from simpler to more advanced concepts and has a smooth transition from geometry to physics. Definitely recommended reading. Subsequently, he commits himself to 3+1 formalism which is the most practical choice once one decides to abandon the natural, timeless formulation of the theory. He covers, all important points: initial data, gauge conditions, particle systems (black holes) and continuum systems (fluids). The author managed to condense all practically needed knowledge in a relatively small book quite successfully. Extra-information is also available on numerical analysis of conservation laws in the framework of powerful high resolution schemes that where originally developed in non-relativistic high speed flow and found nice applications in gravodynamics. Overall, the book is an excellent place to start Numerical Gravity studies.  Sir Isaac Newton (Torso Shot) - 1 1/2" Button / Pin $1.49 This button is the perfect affordable accessory!
