More about the book
Focusing on physical astronomy, this collection by George Biddell Airy examines the Earth's shape, the effects of its rotation, and the phenomena of precession and nutation. It discusses how these factors influence astronomical observations and measurements. Additionally, Airy introduces the calculus of variations, applying it to celestial mechanics for optimizing solutions to planetary motion problems. This comprehensive work serves as an important resource for those interested in the mathematical underpinnings of astronomy, preserved in a facsimile reprint.
