This third edition text provides expanded material on the
restricted three body problem and celestial mechanics. With each
chapter containing new content, readers are provided with new
material on reduction, orbifolds, and the regularization of the
Kepler problem, all of which are provided with applications. The
previous editions grew out of graduate level courses in
mathematics, engineering, and physics given at several different
universities. The courses took students who had some background in
differential equations and lead them through a systematic grounding
in the theory of Hamiltonian mechanics from a dynamical systems
point of view. This text provides a mathematical structure of
celestial mechanics ideal for beginners, and will be useful to
graduate students and researchers alike. Reviews of the second
edition: "The primary subject here is the basic theory of
Hamiltonian differential equations studied from the perspective of
differential dynamical systems. The N-body problem is used as the
primary example of a Hamiltonian system, a touchstone for the
theory as the authors develop it. This book is intended to support
a first course at the graduate level for mathematics and
engineering students. ... It is a well-organized and accessible
introduction to the subject ... . This is an attractive book ... ."
(William J. Satzer, The Mathematical Association of America, March,
2009) "The second edition of this text infuses new mathematical
substance and relevance into an already modern classic ... and is
sure to excite future generations of readers. ... This outstanding
book can be used not only as an introductory course at the graduate
level in mathematics, but also as course material for engineering
graduate students. ... it is an elegant and invaluable reference
for mathematicians and scientists with an interest in classical and
celestial mechanics, astrodynamics, physics, biology, and related
fields." (Marian Gidea, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2010 d)
