Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the integration of planetary motion. It's a much-needed exploration as the two main modern astronomy constants are based on uncertain measurements made and repeated by hand centuries ago. The analysis begins with a summary of the relevant astronomy followed by treatments of the relevant mathematics including topics such as elliptic functions. It then proceeds to identify the forms of the perturbations which might be introduced by the sun, moon, and planets and considers the effects of these in terms of the relevant formulae. The author's analysis is based around the strategy of breaking down the problem into a series of manageable steps. This breakdown presents an elegance of approach which will appeal to professionals. Ultimately, the insights presented here will prove invaluable to future astronomers tasked with refining our understanding of the solar system.
