Orbital Motion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780750310154)

A comprehensive, mathematically detailed book on classical celestial mechanics, this edition updates all chapters and incorporates a new chapter that provides the first textbook treatment of the Caledonian symmetrical n-body problem. The book's contents have been reorganized and extended to encompass new methods and teaching demands, and to cover more modern applied areas such as satellite dynamics. A long-established text in the physics and astronomy fields, this edition extends its coverage to meet the needs in the areas of aerospace engineering and planetary science, which now need to cover this material in more detail.
