Description for Mathematical Aspects of Classical and Celestial Mechanics (Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Sciences)
Hardcover. In its expanded and improved 3rd edition, this work describes the fundamental principles, problems, and methods of classical mechanics. The authors stress the working apparatus of classical mechanics, rather than its physical foundations or applications. Translator(s): Khukhro, E. Series: Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Sciences. Num Pages: 505 pages, 2 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PHD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 30. Weight in Grams: 923.
The main purpose of the book is to acquaint mathematicians, physicists and engineers with classical mechanics as a whole, in both its traditional and its contemporary aspects. As such, it describes the fundamental principles, problems, and methods of classical mechanics, with the emphasis firmly laid on the working apparatus, rather than the physical foundations or applications. Chapters cover the n-body problem, symmetry groups of mechanical systems and the corresponding conservation laws, the problem of the integrability of the equations of motion, the theory of oscillations and perturbation theory.

Reviews for Mathematical Aspects of Classical and Celestial Mechanics (Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Sciences)
From the reviews of the previous editions: ... As an encyclopaedia article, this book does not seek to serve as a textbook, nor to replace the original articles whose results it describes. The book's goal is to provide an overview, pointing out highlights and unsolved problems, and putting individual results into a coherent context. It is full of historical ... Read more
