This book provides an up-to-date, lively and approachable introduction to the mathematical formalism, numerical techniques, and applications of relativistic hydrodynamics. It presents a well-organized description of the subject, from the basic principles of statistical kinetic theory, through the technical aspects of numerical methods devised for the solution of the equations, to applications in modern physics and astrophysics. There are numerous figures and diagrams, as well as a variety of exercises, which support the material in the book.
