Getting started on Celestial Mechanics

230 Views Asked by At

I am searching for a math-accurate book on this subject, in particular for this topics:

  • $n$-body problem, getting more detailed when $n=2$.

  • Efeméride calculation.

  • Orbit determination.

  • Perturbation theory.

I am a math student and this is the only physics-related course in my career so I need to read something really basic.

If you are just starting I recommend checking out Pollard's mathematical introduction to celestial mechanics and Szebehely's adventures in celestial mechanics.

Szebeheley's also has a detailed list of references. Also for Szebeheley's I think the first edition is better and the second edition got too long.
