The Gravitational Million-Body Problem : A Multidisciplinary Approach to Star Cluster Dynamics
Editorial Reviews
Review
'The book contains lucid and concise descriptions of most of the important tools in the subject, with only a modest bias towards the authors' own interests.' Classical and Quantum Gravity
'Enhanced by exercises for the reader, this book is a comprehensive preparation for cutting edge research in the field of stellar dynamics.' Orion
'What they did, covers many aspects of the problem: a historical overview, analytical details for the solvable cases, numerical solutions including computer codes for others, applications for astrophysical examples like star clusters, and a reference list covering twenty pages.' Zentralblatt MATH
Book Description
The gravitational million-body problem is a model for understanding the dynamics of rich star clusters. This text describes the theory astronomers need for studying globular star clusters. After introducing the million-body problem from various view-points, the book systematically develops the tools needed for studying the million-body problems in nature, and introduces the most important theoretical models. Written for graduate students and researchers in astrophysics and astronomy, this text also has important applications in the fields of theoretical physics, computational science and mathematics.
