Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Lectures On The Lunar Theory is a book written by John Couch Adams in the year 1900. The book is a detailed and comprehensive account of the lunar theory, which is the study of the motion of the moon. Adams, who was a British mathematician and astronomer, is best known for his work on the discovery of the planet Neptune. The book is divided into five lectures, each covering a different aspect of the lunar theory. The first lecture provides an introduction to the subject and discusses the history of lunar theory. The second lecture covers the mathematical principles behind lunar theory, including the perturbations of the moon's orbit. The third lecture discusses the methods used to calculate the moon's position in the sky, including observations of eclipses and occultations. The fourth lecture covers the effects of the moon's motion on the tides, while the fifth and final lecture discusses the relationship between the moon and the Earth's rotation. Throughout the book, Adams uses mathematical equations and diagrams to explain the complex concepts of lunar theory in a clear and concise manner. Overall, Lectures On The Lunar Theory is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of astronomy or lunar theory. Adams' expertise in the field is evident throughout the book, and his explanations are both informative and accessible.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
