Chaotic Worlds: from Order to Disorder in Gravitational N-Body Dynamical Systems Summary

Chaotic Worlds: from Order to Disorder in Gravitational N-Body Dynamical Systems by B.A. Steves

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.
