Traité de Mécanique Céleste, Vol. 3 (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book analyzes the work of Sir Isaac Newton as he set about to explain the movements of the Moon. While Newton was not the first to venture into this realm, his approach would forever change the way scientists would explore celestial bodies. His law of universal gravitation provided the essential framework upon which Newton could build his theory of lunar motion. The author takes a deep dive into Newton's Principia, explaining the geometrical constructions and formulas Newton devised to describe the complex movements of the Moon. Along Newton's path, we encounter the insights of those who came before him and the refinements made by those who followed, all within the context of the broader intellectual and scientific developments of the time. The author's lucid exposition of the relevant mathematics and clear explanations of Newton's methodology will help modern readers appreciate the depth of Newton's contribution to our understanding of celestial mechanics.
