Fluctuations in the CMB Induced by Cosmic Strings: Methods and Formalism

Abstract

We present methods to compute maps of CMB fluctuations from high resolution cosmic string networks using a full Boltzmann code, on both large and small angular scales. The accuracy and efficency of these methods are discussed.
