Sinopsis
Lectures On The Lunar Theory is a book written by John Couch Adams in the year 1900. The book is a detailed and comprehensive account of the lunar theory, which is the study of the motion of the moon. Adams, who was a British mathematician and astronomer, is best known for his work on the discovery of the planet Neptune. The book is divided into five lectures, each covering a different aspect of the lunar theory. The first lecture provides an introduction to the subject and discusses the history of lunar theory. The second lecture covers the mathematical principles behind lunar theory, including the perturbations of the moon's orbit. The third lecture discusses the methods used to calculate the moon's position in the sky, including observations of eclipses and occultations. The fourth lecture covers the effects of the moon's motion on the tides, while the fifth and final lecture discusses the relationship between the moon and the Earth's rotation. Throughout the book, Adams uses mathematical equations and diagrams to explain the complex concepts of lunar theory in a clear and concise manner. Overall, Lectures On The Lunar Theory is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of astronomy or lunar theory. Adams' expertise in the field is evident throughout the book, and his explanations are both informative and accessible.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reseña del editor
Lunar Theory were given by A dams from 1860 with few intermissions until 1889. Originally their aim was to illustrate geometrically the analytical processes and thereby render them more comprehensible, and they included some elegant theorems on the geometry of conies which have since become common property; but every year several lectures were rewritten, and thus the whole fabric gradually changed into the form in which it is here presented, the form, practically, in which he gave them last. Perhaps it is superfluous to say that these Lectures stand upon a different footing to treatises that are intended to form the basis ofT ables. With such, completeness is the first object and manner of presentation is secondary. Immense as is the labour of forming a treatise of this description, there exist several that leave little to desire in respect to fulness of detail. Indeed it may be suspected that their very perfection in the quality they profess has stifled to some degree the proper development of the subject, because at first sight it suggests that there is little left to do in theL unar Theory, unless one is prepared to track down the inconsiderable errors that have eluded his Masters. This seems a mistake; the methods most suitable for the whole task adapt themselves comparatively ill to each detail of it, and there seems much that remains to be done in respect to inventing methods suitable for attacking separately, as far as they permit of separate attack, the many difficulties into which the theory divides at the outset, and thence perhaps approximating to A. L.
