INTRODUCTION
------------
This is the second Course activated in the frame of the
International School of Relativstic Astrophysics ╚JOHN
A. WHEELER╩,
whose 1st Director was John A. Wheeler, now Ignazio Ciufolini and
Richard Matzner.
It is dedicated to classic and relativistic dynamics of gravitating
objects and systems in astrophysics.
The web site of the Course, containing all the relevant information is:
http://astro1.phys.uniroma1.it/ericeschool/index.html
The Course will be hosted by the Ettore Majorana Foundation and Center
for Scientific Culture (http://www.ccsem.infn.it), in Erice, the
beautiful small middleval town located on a hill
750 m above the
sea level in the north west of Sicily,
PURPOSE OF THE COURSE
---------------------
This Course has the scope to gather some of the best experts in
computational simulations for the study of gravitating systems in
astrophysics, to allow them to present their knowledge and expertise
to deeply motivated students at the graduate level, as well as young
researchers.
The main aim of the Course is that of clarifying whether and when
the classic Newtonian approach fails and General Relativity is needed
to approach reliably the complicated non-linear aspects of the physics
involved. Consequently, the differences in the numerical and
computational schemes approaches in the classic and relativistic cases
will be illustrated and discussed. A small fraction of time will be
dedicated to the handling and visualization of the huge amount of data
output.
