Description: Geometry of Celestial Mechanics by Hansjoerg Geiges Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A geometric introduction to celestial mechanics, for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students. This textbook introduces the geometric concepts underlying celestial mechanics and their applications, making it suitable for traditional geometry courses or as supplementary material. Numerous exercises and extensive historical notes also support self-study. Publisher Description Celestial mechanics is the branch of mathematical astronomy devoted to studying the motions of celestial bodies subject to the Newtonian law of gravitation. This mathematical introductory textbook reveals that even the most basic question in celestial mechanics, the Kepler problem, leads to a cornucopia of geometric concepts: conformal and projective transformations, spherical and hyperbolic geometry, notions of curvature, and the topology of geodesic flows. For advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students, this book explores the geometric concepts underlying celestial mechanics and is an ideal companion for introductory courses. The focus on the history of geometric ideas makes it perfect supplementary reading for students in elementary geometry and topology. Numerous exercises, historical notes and an extensive bibliography provide all the contextual information required to gain a solid grounding in celestial mechanics.
