520 3 |a Computational astrophysics is a new and quickly growing discipline. In this book the authors outline the fundamentals for computational astrophysics, focusing on the use of the Astronomical Multipurpose Software Environment (AMUSE), which is a general-purpose simulation environment in astrophysics written in Python. AMUSE allows you to combine existing solvers to build new applications that can be combined again to study gradually more complex situations. This enables the growth of multi-physics and multi-scale application software in a hierarchical fashion, testing each intermediate step as the complexity of the software continues to increase. All examples in the book are associated with codes that run on a simple laptop or workstation. All figures are reproducible with a simple script, and all scripts are available online to be downloaded and run accordingly.

545 |a Simon Portegies Zwart is currently professor of numerical star dynamics at Leiden University with research interests in computational gravitational dynamics, stellar and binary evolution and related topics. His ongoing work has been the development and building of the Astronomical Multipurpose Software Environment (AMUSE). He has published more than 300 papers and received numerous citations in relevant works. Steve McMillan is currently the head of the department of physics at Drexel University and his research interests lie in stellar dynamics and computations of stellar systems. Both authors have dedicated extensive amounts of time to this book and continue to work on AMUSE as an ongoing project.
