Synopsis

""An Introduction to Celestial Mechanics"" by Forest Ray Moulton is a classic text on the principles of celestial mechanics, first published in 1914. The book provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental concepts of celestial mechanics, including the laws of motion, gravitational forces, and the motion of planets and other celestial bodies. Moulton also covers the history of celestial mechanics, from the earliest observations of the stars and planets to the modern era of space exploration. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it an ideal resource for students of astronomy and physics, as well as anyone interested in the science of the heavens. This edition includes a new introduction by a modern astronomer, providing additional context and insight into Moulton's work. Overall, ""An Introduction to Celestial Mechanics"" is a timeless and essential work for anyone seeking to understand the principles that govern the movements of the stars and planets in our universe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
