Fundamentals Of Astrodynamics By Frances A., Mueller, Donald D., White, Jerry E., Bate, Roger R. Davis
Users say:
This book is a great resource for teachers and students alike, providing an understanding of orbital mechanics and derivatives, integrals, and vectors. It is well written and easy to understand, although the imperial calculus is not perfect. It is also a great value, with a good price and reasonable clarity.
Teaching text developed by U.S. Air Force Academy develops the basic two-body and "n"-body equations of motion; orbit determination; classical orbital elements, coordinate transformations; differential correction; more. 1971 edition.
