On The Determination Of Elliptic Orbits From Three Complete Observations (1889)

On The Determination Of Elliptic Orbits From Three Complete Observations is a scientific book written by Josiah Willard Gibbs and published in 1889. The book focuses on the mathematical principles and methods used to determine the elliptical orbits of celestial bodies based on three complete observations. Gibbs, who was a renowned American physicist and mathematician, provides a detailed analysis of the mathematical equations and formulas used in the determination of elliptic orbits. He also discusses the practical applications of these calculations in the field of astronomy and space exploration. This book is considered a seminal work in the field of celestial mechanics and is an important contribution to the scientific literature of the late 19th century. It is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals in the fields of physics, mathematics, and astronomy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
