The reader will find in this volume the Proceedings of the NATO
Advanced Study Institute held in Cortina d' Ampezzo, Italy, between
July 25 and August 6, 1993, under the title From Newton to Chaos:
Modem Techniques for Understanding and Coping With Chaos inN-Body
Dynamical Systems. This institute was the latest in a series of
meetings held every three years from 1972 to 1990 in dynamical
astronomy, theoretical mechanics and celestial mechanics. The
proceedings from these institutes have been well-received in the
international community of research workers in these disciplines.
The present institute was well attended with 15 series of lectures
being given by invited speakers: in addition some 40 presentations
were made by the other participants. The majority of these
contributions are included in these proceedings. The all-pervading
influence of chaos in dynamical systems (of even a few variables)
has now been universally recognised by researchers, a recognition
forced on us by our ability, using powerful computer hardware and
software, to tackle dynamical problems that until twenty-five years
ago were intractable. Doubtless it was felt by many that these new
techniques provided a break-through in celestial mechanics and its
related disciplines. And so they were.
The reader will find in this volume the Proceedings of the NATO
Advanced Study Institute held in Maratea-Acquafredda, Italy,
between June 29 and July 12, 1997, entitledTHE DYNAMICS OF SMALL
BODIES IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM: A MAJOR KEY TO SOLAR SYSTEM STUDIES .
This Advanced Study Institute was the latest in the 'Cortina'
series of NATO ASI's begun in the early 1970's firstly under the
directorship of Professor Victor Szebehely and subsequently under
Professor Archie Roy. All, except the latest, were held at the
Antonelli Institute, Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. Many of those now
active in the field made their first international contacts at
these Institutes. The Institutes bring together many of the
brightest of our young people working in dynamical astronomy,
celestial mechanics and space science, enabling them to obtain an
up-to-date synoptic view of their subjects delivered by lecturers
of high international reputation. The proceedings from these
institutes have been well-received in the internationalcommunity of
research workers in the disciplines studied. The present institute
included 15 series of lectures given by invited speakers and some
45 presentations made by the other participants. The majority of
these contributions are includedinthese proceedings.
Based on the recent NATO Advanced Study Institute "Chaotic Worlds:
From Order to Disorder in Gravitational N-Body Dynamical Systems",
this state of the art textbook, written by internationally renowned
experts, provides an invaluable reference volume for all students
and researchers in gravitational n-body systems. The contributions
are especially designed to give a systematic development from the
fundamental mathematics which underpin modern studies of ordered
and chaotic behaviour in n-body dynamics to their application to
real motion in planetary systems. This volume presents an
up-to-date synoptic view of the subject.
