Title Newton's Gravity : An Introductory Guide to the Mechanics of the Universe Author(s) MacDougal, Douglas W Publication New York, NY, Springer New York, 2012. Description XIX, 433 p. 78 illus., 69 illus. in color : online resource Abstract Note ???Newton???s Gravity??? conveys the power of simple mathematics to tell the fundamental truth about nature. Many people know the tides are caused by the pull of the Moon and to a lesser extent the Sun. But very few can explain exactly how and why that happens. Fewer still can calculate the?? actual pulls of the Moon and Sun on the oceans. This book shows in clear detail how to do this with simple tools. It uniquely crosses disciplines ??? history, astronomy, physics and mathematics ??? and takes pains to explain things frequently passed over or taken for granted in other books. Using a problem-based approach, ???Newton???s Gravity??? explores the surprisingly basic mathematics behind gravity, the most fundamental force that governs the movements of satellites, planets, and the stars ISBN,Price 9781461454441 Keyword(s) 1.
