Synopsis:

First published in 1989, this book is comprised of invited contributions from speakers at the international workshop, Frontiers in Numerical Relativity, held at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, in May 1988. Advances in supercomputer technology and computational algorithms have stimulated rapid progress in attempts to understand, through numerical means, such diverse phenomena as gravitational radiation emission from astrophysical sources, the evolution of inhomogenous cosmologies and its effects on nucleosynthesis, cosmic string interactions, the formation of 'naked singularities' and the cosmic censorship conjecture and the dynamics of black holes. The book should be of interest to researchers and graduate students in the field of general relativity, astrophysics and applied numerical analysis who wish to understand developments in computer studies of general relativity at the time of publication.
