Late Stages of Stellar Evolution Computational Methods in Astrophysical Hydrodynamics

The editor intends this collection to be a textbook for graduate students in astrophysics. The 4 lectures in Part I describe both theory and observational aspects of stellar structure and evolution, while the 3 contributions of Part II deal with their modeling using techniques from computational hydrodynamics.
