Planetary Theory
by Ernest Brown, Clarence Shook
Publisher: Cambridge University Press 1933
Number of pages: 323
Description:
The chief purpose of this volume is the development of methods for the calculation of the general orbit of a planet. We have attempted to anticipate the difficulties which arise, not only in the older methods but also in those developed here, by setting forth the various devices which may be utilized when needed.
