James Wilson is widely recognised as a pioneer in the field of numerical relativity and hydrodynamics. Most of the techniques currently in active use in the field today were developed by him at one stage or another. Grant Mathews is Professor of Theoretical Astrophysics and Cosmology at Notre Dame University, Indiana.

"Wilson and Mathews are veterans in the field of numerical relativity, and they have gathered together in this book a wealth of practical expertise which is rarely found in a single printed resource."Malcolm R. Anderson, MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS

• Preface; 1. Introduction; 2. Special relativistic hydrodynamics; 3. General relativistic hydrodynamics; 4. Cosmological hydrodynamics; 5. Stellar collapse and supernovae; 6. Axially symmetric relativistic hydrodynamics; 7. Hydrodynamics in three spatial dimensions; Index.
