I designed a series of three lectures for my fellow astronomy / astrophysics students here at UC Riverside.  The purpose of the lectures was two-fold:

1. To introduce the students to the essentials of N-body methods and computational fluid dynamics.
2. To motivate me to study the subject in more detail and breadth.

Having finished preparing for the lectures, I can say that the second goal has definitely been met.  Two of the three lectures were presented last week and the feedback has been positive, so it seems that the first goal was also met. Tomorrow is the third and last lecture of the series. After that, I will be able to spend time focusing on my research project once again!

The PDF presentation can be found at www.idius.net/lectures/N-body-methods.pdf.
