About this ebook
This monograph presents the basic mathematics underlying the subject of celestial mechanics. Chapter 1 formulates the central force problem and then deals with Kepler's first and second laws, orbits under non-Newtonian attraction, elements of an orbit, the two-body system, the solar system, and disturbed motion. Chapter 2 introduces the n-body problem. Included in Chapter 2 are the Lagrange—Jacobi formula, Sundman's theorem on total collapse, the three-body problem, and Lagrange's and Euler's solutions to the three-body problem. Chapter 3 is an introduction to Hamilton-Jacobi Theory.
