How to locate helpful and instructive books and resources about numerical methods in cosmology?

Question

I am interested in the hydrodynamical and N-body simulations, and I want to use simulation results to examine the theoretical models.

Hence I am searching for some helpful and instructive books and lectures for learning relevant numerical methods, such as:

and similar. How might I best find resources like these?

potentially helpful: Basic, learning examples of applications of CFD and MHD in astrophysics, and current research directions using these techniques?. — uhoh, Commented Jul 13, 2021 at 8:35
For n-body simulation, you'll need some differential equations knowledge. I can't recommend the Udacity "Differential equations in action" enough. One of the first assignments is a gravitational slingshot. And several n-body problems further in. classcentral.com/course/… — Greg Miller, Commented Apr 20, 2022 at 15:59

I found these two resources very helpful: Lecture notes on Cosmological Simulations by Oliver Hahn

$\begingroup$ @fasterthanlight consider that this is a resource-request question and that these two documents are long (50 & 27 pages) and quite dense. Is it really practical to try to find some small bit of each one to quote here that could at all improve the answer? I think in this particular case the answer is fine as-is. $\endgroup$
