This book is designed to extend the range of application of
analytical techniques of classical celestial mechanics for the case
of motion in highly eccentric orbits. Developed largely by the
Brumbergs (both scientists at the Institute of Applied Astronomy in
St. Petersburg, Russia), the technique is based on replacing the
tradition mean, true or eccentric anomalies with the elliptic anomaly
and corresponding Fourier expansions for Jacobi elliptic functions.
It makes it possible to represent more effectively the motion of
celestial objects. The methodology described is of relevance to
researchers worldwide, particularly those who are interested in
studying highly eccentric orbits in more depth using analytical and
semi-analytical techniques.
