Before looking at the three-body problem, let's start of with something simpler---the two-body problem. Suppose I have two objects (two stars would work) that are both moving and both interacting with ...

With clocks, we measure the numerical order of a material change, i.e., motion running in space. There is no experimental evidence that clocks measure time. It is convenient to replace the concept of ...

Humans have problems with quantum mechanics. We have excellent intuition about the motion of a tennis ball tossed in the air, but what about an electron trapped in a box? The tendency is to use the ...

Eigenvalue problems are a cornerstone of modern applied mathematics, arising in diverse fields from quantum mechanics to structural engineering. At their heart, these problems seek scalar values and ...

Numerical integration has been used to investigate the adequacy of the lunar theory for high precision applications and to examine the problem of modelling the apparent departures of the lunar motion ...
