The force of gravity acting over eons has provided the solar system with an intricate dynamic structure, amply revealed by recent space missions. This comprehensive introduction to the dynamics of the solar system also provides all the mathematical tools and physical models necessary for a thorough understanding of the subject. Clearly written, well-illustrated coverage shows how a basic understanding of two- and three-body problems and perturbation theory can be combined to understand different features, such as the tidal heating of Jupiter’s moon Io, the origin of Kirkwood gaps in the asteroid belt and the radial structure of Saturn’s rings. Problems at the end of each chapter and a free Mathematical® Internet software package help students fully develop their understanding of the topic.
