By John Nelson Stockwell

Book Overview

A Treatise On The Secular Equations Of The Moon�������s Mean Motion is a book written by John Nelson Stockwell in 1867. The book is a detailed analysis of the movements of the moon and its relationship with the Earth. It explores the secular equations of the moon's mean motion, which are the long-term variations in the moon's orbit caused by gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies. The book provides a thorough mathematical analysis of the equations and their implications for the moon's motion. It also discusses the history of lunar theory and the various methods used to calculate the moon's position in the sky. The author presents his own original research on the subject, including new discoveries and insights into the nature of the moon's orbit. This book is aimed at astronomers, mathematicians, and anyone interested in the study of celestial mechanics. It is a valuable resource for those seeking a deeper understanding of the moon's movements and its relationship with the Earth. The book is written in a technical style, with complex mathematical equations and terminology, making it suitable for advanced readers in the field. Overall, A Treatise On The Secular Equations Of The Moon�������s Mean Motion is a significant contribution to the study of lunar theory and remains a relevant work in the field of astronomy today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
