The celestial mechanics of Newton
Resonance, 2006Newton’s law of universal gravitation laid the physical foundation of celestial mechanics. This article reviews the steps towards the law of gravitation, and highlights some applications to celestial mechanics found in Newton’sPrincipia.

Newtonian Celestial Mechanics [PDF]
, 2019 Newton’s theory of gravity is based upon absolute time and space (the Newtonian space-time). According to Newton’s Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (originally published in 1687 in Latin), absolute time and space respectively are independent aspects of objective reality:

The Invention of Celestial Mechanics
Early Science and Medicine, 2005How high up can one extend the applicability of Descartes' fundamental mechanical dictum that "each part of matter, considered individually, tends to continue its movement along straight lines?"" Not very far, if one judges by Descartes' own celestial speculations: "the matter of heaven, in which the planets are situated, unceasingly revolves."" And ...

Progress in Celestial Mechanics
Regular and Chaotic Dynamics, 2012Celestial Mechanics has a long history strongly related to human condition and to the successive scientific revolutions. It remains the most accurate science and has seen tremendous progress in the three last centuries. It has led to the discovery of several dissipative phenomena that are in many cases the real factors of evolution.

An Introduction to Celestial Mechanics
2018Celestial mechanics is one of the most interesting applications of classical mechanics. This topic answers one of the oldest questions of facing humankind: what forces govern the motion of celestial bodies? How do celestial bodies move under the action of these forces? In this chapter we discuss the foundations of this subject.

Applications of computers to celestial mechanics
Celestial Mechanics, 1988The development of digital computers induced major new developments in Celestial Mechanics. At present, one can hardly mention a project in Celestial Mechanics that does not use computers as the principal tool. One can distinguish many different manners of using computers in Celestial Mechanics.
