The discussion revolves around recommendations for textbooks or articles that focus on numerically solving problems in general relativity, particularly in scenarios such as a planet orbiting binary stars or the sun and Jupiter in the solar system.
Participants generally agree on the need for resources related to numerical solutions in general relativity, but there are differing opinions on the necessity of full numerical relativity versus PPN methods for the scenarios mentioned.
Some participants note limitations in accessing certain resources due to browser security settings, and there is an emphasis on the context in which different methods are applicable, particularly regarding strong gravity versus nearly Newtonian situations.
The following is very good, and more worked out than a textbook.exmarine said:Can anyone recommend a good textbook or article for numerically solving general relativity problems? Say for a planet orbiting a pair of binary stars, or even for the sun and Jupiter in our solar system?
Found a much better link, via arxiv, to the same notes:exmarine said:Thanks but my browser (FireFox) refuses to go to that site. Says it is "unsecured" or something. Is there any way you could attach that pdf for me? Thanks!
