Download or read book Analytical and Numerical Methods of Celestial Mechanics written by Gleb Aleksandrovich Chebotarev. This book was released on 1967. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stated purpose of this book is to fill a gap in the Russian-language astronomical literature, which had lacked a fundamental textbook on celestial mechanics. The treatment is limited to detailed step-by-step analysis of six methods on which present-day theories of planetary, cometary, and satellite motion are based, beginning with the differential equations and culminating in a comparison of theory with observations. These are the Laplace-Newcomb method, the Hill planetary method, the method of variation of arbitrary constants, the Hill lunar method, and the periodic-orbit and Cowell methods. (Author).
