Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This compelling book presents a novel and elegant mathematical approach to determining the orbits of celestial objects from incomplete observational data. Grounded in the principles of celestial mechanics, the author develops a series of vector equations that provide a highly accurate representation of an object's motion, even when observational intervals are relatively long. The approach builds on the work of previous astronomers, extending their methods to account for the non-uniform motion of objects in elliptical orbits. Through rigorous mathematical analysis, the author not only derives these equations but also demonstrates their practical application in determining the orbits of comets, asteroids, and other celestial bodies. The book's significance lies in its ability to address a fundamental problem in astronomy: accurately determining the orbits of celestial objects based on limited observations. By providing a more comprehensive and accurate understanding of celestial motion, this book contributes to our knowledge of the cosmos and paves the way for further exploration and discovery. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Seller rating 2 out of 5 stars
First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First Edition. Entire volume offered. 223 pp; plates. Contemporary full leather, large 4to. Spine slightly worn, leather slightly scuffed. Else Very Good. 'Josiah Willard Gibbs was one of the principal inventors of the modern system of vector analysis; his first publication using this was an 1889 paper on 'The Determination of Elliptic Orbits from Three Complete Observations.' Although astronomers quickly adopted the improvement that Gibbs made to the Gaussian method of orbit determination, they took much longer to adopt vectorial notation; the first significantly vectorial astronomical book was Paul Herget's 1945 The Computation of Orbits. This paper analyzes the reception of vectors among astronomers, with particular attention to Gibbs's paper and Gibbs's concerns' (Abstract of Matthew Frank's 'Gibbs's Vector Method for the Computation of Orbits', Third Biennial History of Astronomy Workshop, University of Notre Dame; on Notre Dame's Web site). While 'no real version of Gibbs' version of vector analysis took place until 1901 [Martin Klein in D.S.B. V: 391; full article 386-93],' this paper clearly represents a much earlier and still important statement on the subject, 12 years before Edwin B. Wilson published his celebrated Vector Analysis Founded Upon the Lectures of J. Willard Gibbs. This volume also includes: Elias LOOMIS, 'Contributions to Meteorology' (pp. 7-77; pls. 17-32); S. P. LANGLEY, 'The Temperature of the Moon' (pp. 105-212, pls. 1-26); W. K. BROOKS, 'On the Lucayan Indians' (pp. 213-223; pls. 1-12).
