The Invention of Celestial Mechanics

Early Science and Medicine, 2005
How 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 ...

Introduction to KAM theory, with a view to celestial mechanics

, 2016
The theory of Kolmogorov, Arnold, and Moser (KAM) consists of a set of results regarding the persistence of quasiperiodic solutions, primarily in Hamiltonian systems.We bring forward a “twisted conjugacy” normal form, due to Herman, which contains all ...

Progress in Celestial Mechanics

Regular and Chaotic Dynamics, 2012
Celestial 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.

The celestial mechanics of Newton

Resonance, 2006
Newton’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.

Applications of computers to celestial mechanics

Celestial Mechanics, 1988
The 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.

An Introduction to Celestial Mechanics

2018
Celestial 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.
