Celestial Dynamics: Chaoticity and Dynamics of Celestial Systems

Written by an internationally renowned expert author and researcher, this monograph fills the need for a book conveying the sophisticated tools needed to calculate exo-planet motion and interplanetary space flight. It is unique in considering the critical problems of dynamics and stability, making use of the software Mathematica, including supplements for practical use of the formulae.
A must-have for astronomers and applied mathematicians alike.Content:
