The present set of lectures is devoted to magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in astrophysics with strong emphasis on numerical simulations. The book strives for a balance between state-of-the-art reports and a tutorial approach. It is thus particularly suited as an introduction to the field for nonspecialist researchers and postgraduate students, while experienced scientists will find the book to be a comprehensive source of reference for their research.
