A Nobel Prize-winning astrophysicist investigates two areas. The first concerns problems in which the time of relaxation of a stellar system is central. The second examines problems centering around Liouville's theorem and the solutions of the equation of continuity.

Reprint of a Classic Work,
By
This review is from: Principles of Stellar Dynamics (Dover Books on Physics) (Hardcover)
This is one of the classical books on star systems written by a Nobel prize winning astrophysicist. While somewhat dated now, this book applies classical dynamics to stellar dynamics, the distribution of matter and motion in star systems. This can be in our Galaxy, in external galaxies and in star clusters. This book provides a heavily mathematical orientation to the problem.
In addition to the basic text, two later papers by Dr. Chandrasekhar are reprinted from the technical journals in which they first appeared.
