Publisher's Synopsis
Theory Of The Motion Of The Heavenly Bodies Moving About The Sun In Conic Sections: A Translation Of Gauss�������s Theoria Motus (1857) is a book written by Charles Henry Davis that provides a complete translation of Carl Friedrich Gauss's original work, Theoria Motus. The book focuses on the motion of celestial bodies, such as planets and comets, as they orbit the sun in conic sections. Gauss's work was groundbreaking in its use of mathematical methods to accurately predict the movements of these bodies, and Davis's translation makes this important work accessible to modern readers. The book includes detailed explanations of the mathematical formulas and concepts used by Gauss, as well as historical context and analysis of his contributions to the field of astronomy. Theory Of The Motion Of The Heavenly Bodies Moving About The Sun In Conic Sections is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of astronomy or the mathematical principles underlying 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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
