Mathematics of Planet Earth

The initial goal of Celestial Mechanics was to explain the motion of
the Sun, the Moon and planets. Nowadays the mathematical methods of Celestial Mechanics
find several different applications, including the determination of the dynamics of planets, asteroids, comets, artificial satellites, and the design of orbits for interplanetary travels. Continue reading →

Our aim is to bring the main specialists
of the N–body problem together with the leaders of different areas in dynamical systems (Variational Methods, Mather Theory, Hamiltonian dynamics, Ergodic Theory) trying to build a theoretical framework suitable to attack some of the many unsolved aspects of the N–body problem. Continue reading →
