Numerical Relativity CM1-a and CM1-b sessions

Abstract

Numerical Relativity is concerned with solving the Einstein equations, as well as any field or matter equations on curved space-time, by means of computer calculations. The methods developed for this purpose up to now, as well as the addressed physical problems are getting more numerous every day. This is a brief summary of the presentations which have been given during the 9th Marcel Grossman meeting, which took place in Rome, from 2nd to 8th of July 2000. Many different fields have been addressed, from pure numerics and applied mathematics to neutron star properties and gravitational wave astronomy.
