The present book represents to a large extent the translation of
the German "Vorlesungen uber Himmelsmechanik" by C. L. Siegel. The
demand for a new edition and for an English translation gave rise
to the present volume which, however, goes beyond a mere
translation. To take account of recent work in this field a number
of sections have been added, especially in the third chapter which
deals with the stability theory. Still, it has not been attempted
to give a complete presentation of the subject, and the basic
prganization of Siegel's original book has not been altered. The
emphasis lies in the development of results and analytic methods
which are based on the ideas of H. Poincare, G. D. Birkhoff, A.
Liapunov and, as far as Chapter I is concerned, on the work of K.
F. Sundman and C. L. Siegel. In recent years the
measure-theoretical aspects of mechanics have been revitalized and
have led to new results which will not be discussed here. In this
connection we refer, in particular, to the interesting book by V.
I. Arnold and A. Avez on "Problemes Ergodiques de la Mecanique
Classique," which stresses the interaction of ergodic theory and
mechanics. We list the points in which the present book differs
from the German text. In the first chapter two sections on the tri
pie collision in the three body problem have been added by C. L.
Siegel."
