Butikov, E. I.

Motions of celestial bodies :computer simulations /by Eugene Butikov. - 1 online resource (various pagings) :illustrations. - IOP expanding physics..

"Version: 20141001"--Title page verso.

Preface -- Author biography -- Introduction : getting started -- List of the simulation programs -- How to operate the simulation programs -- Keplerian motions in celestial mechanics -- Numerical and analytical methods

This book, together with the accompanying software, is written for a wide range of graduate and undergraduate students studying various courses in physics and astronomy. The primary aim of the book is the understanding of the foundations of classical and modern physics, while their application to celestial mechanics is used to illustrate these concepts. The simulation programs create vivid and lasting impressions of the investigated phenomena, and provide students and their instructors with a powerful tool to explore basic concepts that are difficult to study and teach in an abstract conventional manner.

Professional and scholarly.

Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Eugene Butikov is a Professor of Physics at St Petersburg State University in Russia, where he teaches general physics, optics, quantum theory of solids and theory of oscillations. His research work is associated with solid statesolid-state physics (quantum theory of electronic paramagnetic resonance, theory of Josephson effects in weak superconductivity) and theory of nonlinear oscillations. He has written several textbooks and handbooks on physics that are widely used in Russia, and is a co-author of the Concise Handbook of Mathematics and Physics, CRC Press, 1997. He devotes a lot of time and effort to developing interactive educational software for university-level physics students to investigate mathematical models of physical systems.
