Mathematical Theories of Planetary Motions
by Otto Dziobek
Publisher: The Register Pub. Co. 1892
Number of pages: 314
Description:
This work is intended not merely as an introduction to the special study of astronomy, but rather for the student of mathematics who desires an insight into the creations of his masters in this field. The author has endeavored to meet this need and at the same time to produce a book which shall be so near the present state of the science as to include recent investigations and to indicate unsettled questions.
