Applications are now invited for the ICTS Summer School on Numerical
Relativity. The school is organized as part of the ICTS Program on
Numerical Relativity and will be held from 2013 June 10 to 21 in the
ICTS-TIFR facility located in the campus of the Indian Institute of
Science, Bangalore.
Courses include: Mathematical formulation of
numerical relativity, Introduction to theory and numerics of partial
differential equations, Introduction to numerical hydrodynamics,
Advanced course in theory and numerics of partial differential
equations, Overview of current topics in numerical relativity and
Overview of current topics in gravitational-wave astronomy &
astrophysics. Invited lecturers include: Thomas Baumgarte (Bowdoin
College, USA), Harald Pfeiffer (Canadian Institute for Theoretical
Astrophysics, Canada), David Neilsen (Brigham Young University, USA),
Sascha Husa (University of Balearic Islands, Spain), Mark Hannam
(Cardiff University, UK) and B. S. Sathyaprakash (Cardiff University,
UK).
Students and postdocs in Physics, Applied Mathematics and
appropriate fields of Engineering can apply. Some background in General
Relativity and numerical methods is required. Online application form
