A Transformation of Hansen's Lunar Theory Compared Wiht the Theory of Delaunay

By Simon Newcomb

"A Transformation of Hansen's Lunar Theory Compared With the Theory of Delaunay" delves into the intricate mathematical models developed to predict the Moon's motion. Authored by Simon Newcomb and Meier, this work rigorously compares Hansen's lunar theory with that of Delaunay, two significant approaches in celestial mechanics. The book provides a detailed analysis of the mathematical transformations required to reconcile these theories, offering valuable insights for astronomers and mathematicians interested in the historical development of lunar theory.

This book is an important resource for understanding the evolution of astronomical calculations and the ongoing quest for precision in predicting celestial phenomena. Its meticulous comparison of two influential theories makes it a valuable addition to the libraries of those studying the history of astronomy and advanced mathematical methods in celestial mechanics.
