It seemed their aim to give every branch of physics the same precision as celestial mechanics.
And yet from Newton's law may be deduced by an immediate generalization all the effects of perturbations and the whole of celestial mechanics.
In beginning my studies in celestial mechanics, I lacked the guidance of some one conversant with the subject on its practical side.
But this was nothing to what one finds when he looks into a work on celestial mechanics, where a single formula may fill a whole chapter.

In contemplating such a scheme of celestial mechanics as that just outlined, one cannot avoid raising the question as to just the degree of literalness which the Egyptians themselves put upon it.
Corresponding to this there is a theorem of celestial mechanics, that through any three positions of a comet one conic section, and only one, can be passed along which the comet can move in accordance with the law of gravitation.
In the actual problems of celestial mechanics three co-ordinates necessarily enter, leading to three differential equations and six equations of solution.
In its most important features it is an offshoot of celestial mechanics, between which and theoretical astronomy no sharp dividing line can be drawn.
Leverrier, who had already evidenced his marked ability in celestial mechanics, proceeded to grapple with the problem in the most thorough manner.
Now the interest of the observations at Flagstaff consists in their showing us this disintegration in process of taking place and furthermore in a way that brings before us an interesting case of celestial mechanics.
