Gravitational Dynamics (Cambridge Contemporary Astrophysics)
Editorial Reviews
Review
'These collected papers from the Proceedings of the 36th Hertmonceux Conference will form a historical highpoint in the subject in years to come. With papers from twenty-three distinguished scientists, these proceedings ... give a wonderful description of many aspects of galaxy dynamics.' Irish Astronomical Journal
' ... an up-to-date overview of the field for researchers ... not only can readers brush up on their subjects of research, but they may also be tempted to broaden their horizons by dipping into chapters that lie beyond their usual fields.' Michael Merrifield, The Observatory
Book Description
This timely volume examines all aspects of gravitational dynamics, from stellar systems and galaxy disks to the dynamics of the Local Group, large scale structures and motions, galaxy formation and general relativity. Each chapter is written by a world expert renowned for original contributions to the field. This volume provides a broad, pedagogical introduction to gravitational dynamics for graduate students, and an up-to-date review for researchers in cosmology, astrophysics, mathematical physics and applied mathematics.
