{"product_id":"mechanics-of-the-solar-system","title":"Mechanics Of The Solar System","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book develops methods of computing astronomical phenomena from basic ideas. The position of a celestial body is defined by a vector, with components referred to a system of coordinate axes. The relations between various systems in regular use by astronomers are described. In cases where two systems differ in spatial orientation, they are related by a rotation matrix. These matrices are discussed in considerable detail in the mathematical notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e            Other topics discussed include: Kepler's Laws and the dynamics of planetary motion, Precession and Nutation, transits of Venus and Mercury, Lagrange points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e            While no previous knowledge of Astronomy is necessary, it is assumed that the reader is familiar with elementary algebra, trigonometry and calculus.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Self-Publishing Partnership Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54222727086424,"sku":"9781839522345","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781839522345_a127863f-24ff-4084-812a-51333059ad9f.jpg?v=1751570123","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/mechanics-of-the-solar-system","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
