Nice to own a good math book of this type,

This review is from: The Sheer Joy of Celestial Mechanics (Hardcover)
I had read some of this book as a library book first and wanted it for my own! It isn't obvious from the title that it is a MATH BOOK at first, but considering it does say "Mechanics", there is a hint. It is a very good review of that part of math that one may not get in a regular Physics schooling or Math degree. It truly covers the stuff that is involved with plantery orbits (and even their perturbations), ie: Rotating Coordinates, Central Forces and Inverse Square Law. Fourier series, Bessel and Legendre functions and other studies of classical potential theory are a main theme. Grossman builds upon a students knoledge of calculus and develops towards his love of celestial mechanics as a study of love of the joy of applicable mathematics. J.E. Lear
