The Three-Body Problem and the Equations of Dynamics by Henri Poincar
In an effort to understand the stability of orbits in the solar system, Poincare applied a Hamiltonian formulation to the equations of planetary motion and studied these differential equations in the limited case of three bodies to arrive at properties of the equations solutions, such as orbital resonances and horseshoe orbits.
“In the work under review, Popp, a professional translator, has produced an English translation of Poincaré’s monograph… This book will be most appropriate for readers with an expressed interest in the history of mathematics and physics or dynamical systems. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above; researchers and faculty.” (M. D. Sanford, Choice, Vol. 55 (4), December, 2017)
Bruce D. Popp is an ATA-certified translator for French into English with a BA in physics from Cornell University and a PhD in astrophysics from Harvard University. He is also a U.S. Patent and Trademark Office registered patent agent. As a professional translator, he performs premium-quality translations of scientific and technical documents, especially patent applications. As an independent scholar, he is applying his love of astrophysics, mathematics and French to understanding the work of Henri Poincaré.
