Description and Table of Contents

Description

Shows that exact solutions to the Kepler (two-body), the Euler (two-fixed center), and the Vinti (earth-satellite) problems can all be put in a form that admits the general representation of the orbits and follows a definite shared pattern Includes a full analysis of the planar Euler problem via a clear generalization of the form of the solution in the Kepler case Original insights that have hithertofore not appeared in book form

Table of Contents

General Introduction.- Lagrangian Mechanics.- The Kepler Problem.- The Euler Problem I - Planar Case.- The Euler Problem II - Three-dimensional Case.- The Earth Satellite - General Analysis.- The Earth Satellite - Some Special Orbits.
