Synopsis
""Lectures On The Lunar Theory"" is a book written by John Couch Adams and published in 1900. The book is a collection of lectures given by Adams on the subject of the lunar theory, which is the study of the motion of the moon around the earth. The book is divided into five lectures, each covering a different aspect of the lunar theory. The first lecture provides an overview of the history of the study of the moon's motion, from ancient times to the present day. The second lecture focuses on the mathematical principles that underlie the lunar theory, including Kepler's laws of planetary motion and Newton's laws of motion and gravitation. The third lecture delves into the various methods used to calculate the moon's position and motion, including the use of astronomical observations and mathematical models. The fourth lecture discusses the various factors that affect the moon's motion, such as the gravitational pull of the sun and other planets, and the effects of the earth's atmosphere. The final lecture provides a summary of the current state of knowledge about the lunar theory, including recent advances in the field. Overall, ""Lectures On The Lunar Theory"" is a comprehensive and detailed exploration of this important area of astronomy, written by one of the leading experts in the field.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.
