Traité de mécanique céleste (transl. "Treatise of celestial mechanics") is a five-volume treatise on celestial mechanics written by Pierre-Simon Laplace and published from 1798 to 1825 with a second edition in 1829.
10. März 2009 · A treatise of celestial mechanics by Laplace, Pierre Simon, marquis de, 1749-1827; Harte, Henry Hickman, 1790-1848
In history of science: Mechanics …Traité de mécanique céleste (1798–1827; Celestial Mechanics) systematized everything that had been done in celestial mechanics under Newton’s inspiration. Laplace went beyond Newton by showing that the perturbations of the planetary orbits caused by the interactions of planetary gravitation are in fact ...
Celestial mechanics is the branch of astronomy that deals with the motions of objects in outer space. Historically, celestial mechanics applies principles of physics ( classical mechanics ) to astronomical objects, such as stars and planets , to produce ephemeris data.
He summarized and extended the work of his predecessors in his five-volume Mécanique céleste (Celestial Mechanics) (1799–1825). This work translated the geometric study of classical mechanics to one based on calculus, opening up a broader range of problems.
Laplace's works as a whole – which were spread over 20 years – were brought together in a vast treatise, Celestial Mechanics ( Laplace, 1825 ), the publication of which began in 1799, and which Laplace would continue to expand and amend up to the end of his life.
His work in celestial mechanics and probability theory paved the way for many future developments in mathematics and physics. Laplace’s equations, which describe the dynamics of a wide range of physical systems, are still used today in fields such as fluid dynamics, electromagnetism, and quantum mechanics.
