10 Preface This textbook Motions of Celestial Bodies: Computer Simulations, together with the accompanying award-winning educational software package PLANETS AND SATELLITES, is intended to help students learn and understand the fundamental concepts and laws of physics as they apply to the fascinating world of the motions of natural and artificial celestial bodies. In this wonderful space laboratory, all phenomena are observed in their purest form, without the numerous complications that are inevitable in an ordinary Earth laboratory. It is the understanding of the foundations of classical and modern physics that form the primary aim of the book, while their application to real-world celestial mechanics is more illustrative and incidental. This textbook relies heavily on PLANETS AND SATELLITES, which includes several highly interactive computer programs presenting a set of exciting computer-simulated experiments. The programs of the package provide students and their instructors with a powerful tool which enables them to investigate basic concepts and phenomena that are difficult to imagine and study in a conventional abstract manner. This textbook along with PLANETS AND SATELLITES has been developed as an exploration-oriented complement to various physics courses. It can be helpful to a wide range of students, from those in introductory physics to those in advanced courses. With this textbook and the software, the students can learn the basic principles and concepts of classical dynamics and the application of these principles to the motions of various celestial bodies stars, planets, comets, natural and artificial satellites, and manned and automatic space vehicles. The simulation programs make visible the beauty and aesthetics of the mathematics and the fundamental laws of physics in their application to the motions of celestial bodies. PLANETS AND SATELLITES allows the students to construct and investigate a model of the Solar System or to create an imaginary planetary system on their own complete with the star, planets, moons, comets, asteroids and satellites. Contemporary interactive media provides students with a powerful means to visualize the evolution of such a planetary system and to explore the orbital motions governed by the gravitational forces. The simulations bring to life many abstract concepts of classical dynamics. Interactive work with PLANETS AND SATELLITES helps students understand phenomena better. Students can work at a pace they enjoy, varying the parameters of the simulated systems and repeating the most interesting experiments several times on their own. Experience based on students own actions results in deeper understanding than merely receiving someone elseʼs knowledge. Undoubtedly, for the great majority of humans, a visual experience is much more intensive and permanent than an aural or reading experience. With some of the suggested programs, students have an opportunity to perform interesting mini-research projects in physics and astronomy. ix
11 Motions of Celestial Bodies The computer simulations in PLANETS AND SATELLITES enable students to see clearly how systems that obey simple and precise physical laws behave, sometimes in unexpected and even irregular, chaotic ways. Although designed as a desk-top laboratory for individual interactive work, the software also provides the instructor with powerful demonstration tools to accompany lectures in mechanics and general physics. The structure of the programs allows students to study the subject at different levels of difficulty, depending on the time available and on the mathematical complexity of the course. Part I (chapters 2 9) of the textbook contains a description of the simulation programs and their possibilities, and explains how the programs are operated. It suggests experiments that demonstrate typical examples of the behavior of the simulated systems. Part I is aimed at building physical intuition. Understanding the underlying concepts of physics is given precedence over using formulas in calculations. Students who are not going to study the subject thoroughly may restrict themselves to only this part of the textbook. In order to remain simple, the text focuses on concepts while keeping mathematics to the necessary minimum. However, to answer some of the suggested questions and to solve the more difficult problems, students may also need to read the following parts. Once they master the basics, the structure of the textbook and software allows for increasingly complex investigations of the subject matter. Chapter 10 of part II presents a more detailed, though rather elementary, description of the fundamental concepts and the laws of physics underlying the simulated phenomena. Quantitative, mathematical formulation of the physical laws and their consequences provides a means to predict and explain the results of the simulation experiments and to calculate the parameters that must be entered in order to obtain the desired results. Chapter 11 of part II is much more sophisticated and is intended for an in-depth study of the subject. This highly mathematical chapter delves into the serious theoretical background for the computer-aided study of celestial mechanics and space dynamics. In the sections Questions and problems an asterisk (*) after the problem number is used to grade the problems by difficulty. Simple problems and questions have no asterisk. One asterisk means that the problem requires thought. Two- and especially three-asterisk problems are challenging in some way. The best learning takes place when you struggle with a tough problem.

12 Author biography Eugene Butikov Eugene Butikov was born on 17 January 1940 in Yekaterinburg (formerly Sverdlovsk), Russia. He graduated from Saint Petersburg (formerly Leningrad) State University in 1962 (Department of Physics). All of his research and academic activity took place at Saint Petersburg State University and Saint Petersburg Research University of Fine Mechanics and Optics, where presently he is a full professor of general physics. He lectures on general physics, optics, the quantum theory of solids, and the theory of oscillations. He has written several textbooks and handbooks on physics which are used widely in Russia. His research work is associated with solid state physics (quantum theory of electronic paramagnetic resonance, theory of Josephson effects in weak superconductivity), theory of nonlinear oscillations. Several new complicated and even counterintuitive modes of regular and chaotic behavior have been discovered recently in parametrically excited simple nonlinear systems by virtue of his efforts with the help of computer simulations. He has succeeded in finding clear physical explanations for some of these modes, and in a theoretical determination of their boundaries in the parameter space of the system. During the last decades he has devoted much time and effort to developing (and using) interactive educational software for university-level physics students. His software is a kind of desk-top laboratory in which the computer is used as a universal research instrument for investigating mathematical models of physical systems rather than simply as a convenient means to search and display information. He has developed several packages of interactive simulation programs with detailed tutorials. These programs are published and distributed in Russia by the Physicon Company, and in the USA by the American Institute of Physics. With these packages, he has tried to change the traditional paradigm of teaching physics in Universities. Students do most of the work on their own, using detailed manuals with assignments, which prompt them to do particular activities to explore the use of the simulation programs. Their work on those assigned projects is a model of real scientific research. xi
