An accessible exposition of gravitation theory and celestial mechanics, this classic volume was written by a distinguished Soviet astronomer. It explains with exceptional clarity the methods used by physicists in studying celestial phenomena, including perturbed motion, satellite technology, planetary rotation, and the motions of the stars. 58 figures. 1959 edition. Unabridged republication of the 1961 Dover edition.
An Introduction to Celestial Mechanics by Forest Ray Moulton Classic text still unsurpassed in presentation of fundamental principles. Covers rectilinear motion, central forces, problems of two and three bodies, much more. Includes over 200 problems, some with answers.
Methods of Analytical Dynamics by Leonard Meirovitch Encompassing formalism and structure in analytical dynamics, this graduate-level text discusses fundamentals of Newtonian and analytical mechanics, rigid body dynamics, problems in celestial mechanics and spacecraft dynamics, more. 1970 edition.
The Riddle of Gravitation: Revised and Updated Edition by Peter G. Bergmann Nonmathematical introduction to conceptual foundations of both Newton's and Einstein's theories of gravity features updated material on gravity waves, singularities, and other current topics. 88 illustrations. 1968 edition.
Fundamentals of Astrodynamics by Roger Bate Teaching text developed by U.S. Air Force Academy develops the basic two-body and n-body equations of motion; orbit determination; classical orbital elements, coordinate transformations; differential correction; more. 1971 edition.
