Published under the auspices of the Royal Astronomical Society, this volume contains a set of extensive school tested lectures, with the aim to give a coherent and thorough background knowledge of the subject and to introduce the latest developments in N-body computational astrophysics. The topics cover a widerange from the classical few-body problem with discussions of resonance, chaos and stability to realistic modeling of star clusters as well as descriptionsof codes, algorithms and special hardware for N-body simulations. This collection of topics, related to the gravitational N-body problem, will prove usefulto both students and researchers in years to come.
