For centuries, astronomers have been interested in the motions of the planets and in methods to calculate their orbits. Since Newton, mathematicians have been fascinated by the related N-body problem.

Rescued from obscurity, Feynman's Lost Lecture is a blessing for all Feynman followers. Most know Richard Feynman for the hilarious anecdotes and exploits in his best-selling books Surely You're Jokin
An introduction to classical celestial mechanics, incorporating topics such as Fourier series, Legendre and Bessel functions, and classical potential theory to illustrate the use of the tools of calcu
While much has been written on the ramifications of Newton's dynamics, until now the details of Newton's solution were available only to the physics expert. The Key to Newton's Dynamics clearly explai
The present book represents to a large extent the translation of the German "Vorlesungen uber Himmelsmechanik" by C. L. Siegel. The demand for a new edition and for an English translation gave rise to
Edited by Daniel Goroff, Harvard University This English-language edition of Poincare's landmark work is of interest not only to historians of science, but also to mathematicians. Beginning from an in
The driving idea, in organizing this Symposium on "Relativity in Celestial Mechanics . and Astrometry" was that, in recent years, the ac curacy of several Astrometric techniques has so much increased
Donald D. Clayton's Principles of Stellar Evolution and Nucleosynthesis remains the standard work on the subject, a popular textbook for students in astronomy and astrophysics and a rich sourcebook fo
This work is addressed to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in astronomy, geology, chemistry, meteorology, and the planetary sciences as well as to researchers with pertinent areas of speci
This self-contained textbook brings together many different branches of physics--e.g. nuclear physics, solid state physics, particle physics, hydrodynamics, relativity--to analyze compact objects. Th
