Methods of Celestial Mechanics

Meer over het boek

Offering a comprehensive exploration of celestial mechanics, the first volume emphasizes essential mathematical techniques and numerical solutions for ordinary differential equations, alongside orbit determination. The second volume applies these concepts to practical scenarios, including the dynamics of Earth and Moon rotation, artificial satellites, and planetary systems. It covers critical high-tech considerations like gravitational fields, Earth's oblateness, radiation pressure, and atmospheric drag. The work concludes with an overview of advanced, tested software tools for professionals in the field.
