Gravitation: An Elementary Explanation of the Principal Perturbations in the Solar System is a book written by George Biddell Airy and published in 1884. The book provides a detailed explanation of the gravitational forces and perturbations that affect the movement of celestial bodies in the solar system. Airy, a renowned British mathematician and astronomer, uses a straightforward and accessible language to explain complex concepts, making the book suitable for both amateur and professional astronomers. The book covers topics such as the laws of motion, the inverse square law of gravitation, the precession of the equinoxes, and the perturbations caused by the gravitational influence of other planets. Airy's work is considered a classic in the field of celestial mechanics and has been used as a reference by astronomers and physicists for over a century. Overall, Gravitation: An Elementary Explanation of the Principal Perturbations in the Solar System is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the fundamental principles of celestial mechanics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
