Periodic Orbits About An Oblate Spheroid (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781024923971)

“Periodic Orbits About An Oblate Spheroid” explores the mathematical complexities of orbital mechanics, focusing on the behavior of objects around a non-spherical, oblate spheroid. Authored by William Duncan MacMillan, this work delves into the intricacies of calculating and predicting periodic orbits in such gravitational fields. It offers a rigorous mathematical treatment suitable for advanced students and researchers in celestial mechanics, astronomy, and physics.

The book provides detailed analyses and equations, making it an invaluable resource for those studying the dynamics of celestial bodies and the mathematical models used to describe them.
