Astrophysical recipes : the art of AMUSE /

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 w...
