More about the book

Focusing on the intellectual legacy of Leonhard Euler, this book delves into his groundbreaking contributions to physics and mathematical astronomy. It highlights Euler's pioneering work in orbital mechanics, including his derivation of the differential equations for the n-body problem and the discovery of collinear points, often misattributed to Lagrange. By examining Euler's memoirs and correspondence, the author reveals how Euler laid the mathematical foundation for understanding motion in our Solar System, influencing modern space exploration and astronomical studies.
