Celestial Mechanics
string
Book •
Celestial Mechanics is a comprehensive treatise on classical mechanics, applying mathematical analysis to describe and predict the motions of celestial bodies.
Written by Pierre-Simon Laplace, it extends the work of Isaac Newton, providing a detailed account of the solar system's dynamics.
The book covers topics such as planetary orbits, gravitational interactions, and the stability of the solar system.
Laplace used advanced mathematical techniques to address perturbations in planetary motion.
His work aimed to provide a complete deterministic understanding of the cosmos.
Celestial Mechanics is a landmark achievement in the application of mathematics to physical science.
