This book provides an introduction to classical celestial
mechanics. It is based on lectures delivered by the authors over
many years at both Padua University (MC) and V.N. Karazin Kharkiv
National University (EB). The book aims to provide a mathematical
description of the gravitational interaction of celestial bodies.
The approach to the problem is purely formal. It allows the authors
to write equations of motion and solve them to the greatest degree
possible, either exactly or by approximate techniques, when there
is no other way. The results obtained provide predictions that can
be compared with the observations. Five chapters are supplemented
by appendices that review certain mathematical tools, deepen some
questions (so as not to interrupt the logic of the mainframe with
heavy technicalities), give some examples, and provide an overview
of special functions useful here, as well as in many other fields
of physics. The authors also present the original investigation of
torus potential. This book is aimed at senior undergraduate
students of physics or astrophysics, as well as graduate students
undertaking a master's degree or Ph.D.
