th Coinciding with the 300 anniversary of the publication of
Newton's Principia The International Astronomical Union organized
the colloquium No. 96 "The Few Body Problem" in Turku, Finland,
June 14.-19.1987. It provided an opportunity to review the progress
in the very field which caused Newton a headache, as Victor
Szebehely reminded the audience in his introductory remarks. It is
a measure of the difficulty and complication of the few body
problem that even after 300 years so many aspects of the problem
are still unsolved. To quote Szebehely again, "Sir Isaac
established the rules, Poincare presented the challenges." Many of
these challenges are reviewed in the present proceedings. The
gravitational few body problem cuts across the borders of
established disciplines. The participants of the colloquium came
from departments as different as Aerospace Engineering, Astronomy,
Theoretical Physics, Physics, Mathematics, Applied Mathematics,
Computer Science, Planetology, Geodesy, Celestial Mechanics and
Space Science. The few body problem is a problem of practical
significance in many fields and the main aim of the colloquium was
to bring together people with research interests in this area, many
of whom normally attend different conferences.
