Reseña del libro "Celestial Mechanics (en Inglés)"
Celestial Mechanics by William Marshall Smart is a comprehensive textbook that covers the principles and applications of celestial mechanics. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part focusing on the fundamental principles of celestial mechanics, including Kepler's laws, the motion of planets, and the gravitational force. The second part covers the applications of celestial mechanics, such as the calculation of orbits, the motion of artificial satellites, and the determination of the positions of celestial bodies. The third part of the book is dedicated to advanced topics in celestial mechanics, such as the n-body problem, perturbation theory, and the theory of relativity. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both undergraduate and graduate students in physics, astronomy, and engineering. It includes numerous examples and exercises that help to reinforce the concepts presented in the text. Additionally, the book contains a wealth of historical information about the development of celestial mechanics, making it an interesting and informative read for anyone interested in the history of science. Overall, Celestial Mechanics is an essential resource for anyone studying or working in the field of celestial mechanics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
