Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed examination of the effects produced by the direct action of one planet on the motion of the moon. The author has developed methods to overcome the difficulties that have prevented an accurate computation of the long period terms in prior work, which were also found to be equally useful for finding the terms which have periods of a year or less. No new inequalities sufficiently great to account for the observed discrepancy between theory and observation appear from the direct action of the planets, as shown in tables in the book. The author has extended Radaus well-known list of terms in longitude and computed new long period inequalities with small coefficients. The values of AP, Bp are also required for finding the perturbations of the earth by the planets and of the planets by the earth, while those of M and their derivatives with respect to n, e, k under the argument 0 are available for the computation of lunar perturbations.
