Orbital Motion

Autor A.E. Roy
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2004
Long established as one of the premier references in the fields of astronomy, planetary science, and physics, the fourth edition of Orbital Motion continues to offer comprehensive coverage of the analytical methods of classical celestial mechanics while introducing the recent numerical experiments on the orbital evolution of gravitating masses and the astrodynamics of artificial satellites and interplanetary probes. Following detailed reviews of earlier editions by distinguished lecturers in the USA and Europe, the author has carefully revised and updated this edition. Each chapter provides a thorough introduction to prepare you for more complex concepts, reflecting a consistent perspective and cohesive organization that is used throughout the book. A noted expert in the field, the author not only discusses fundamental concepts, but also offers analyses of more complex topics, such as modern galactic studies and dynamical parallaxes.
New to the Fourth Edition:
•          Numerous updates and reorganization of all chapters to encompass new methods
•          New results from recent work in areas such as satellite dynamics
•          New chapter on the Caledonian symmetrical n-body problem
Extending its coverage to meet a growing need for this subject in satellite and aerospace engineering, Orbital Motion, Fourth Edition remains a top reference for postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students, professionals such as engineers, and serious amateur astronomers.

Recenzii

“Roy updates this fourth edition of an established text to include new research results … While the text is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in disciplines ranging from astronomy and planetary science to aerospace and satellite engineering, its discussion of orbital computation will be of interest to serious amateur astronomers.”
—SciTech Book News, December 2006

“Each chapter is accompanied by exercises (with answers and some hints) that are designed to give the student confidence. This book retains its usefulness as a comprehensive text on introductory celestial mechanics… .”
— James Collett,Physical Science Educational Reviews,Vol. 7 Issue 1, June 2006

Praise for the Third Edition
 “…a classic text … on the orbits of everything from galactic clusters down to grapefruit-sized Earth satellites.”

Descriere

A comprehensive, mathematically detailed book on classical celestial mechanics, this edition updates all chapters and incorporates a new chapter that provides the first textbook treatment of the Caledonian symmetrical n-body problem. The book’s contents have been reorganized and extended to encompass new methods and teaching demands, and to cover more modern applied areas such as satellite dynamics. A long-established text in the physics and astronomy fields, this edition extends its coverage to meet the needs in the areas of aerospace engineering and planetary science, which now need to cover this material in more detail.Multi/Card Deck Copy
