Upcoming Seminar

Talk: The Three-Body Problem

Lecturer: Marian Gidea, Department of Mathematics, Northeastern Illinois University

Time and place: Friday, 11/13/2009 , 2:30-3:30 PM, SCI-242.

Abstract: This will be an introductory lecture to the three-body problem. The three-body problem is a mathematical model for the motion of a spacecraft in the Earth-Moon or Sun-Earth system, or for the transport of matter in binary star systems. We will focus on the numerical study of the planar circular restricted three-body problem, and we will propose some research projects. We will also discuss some related problems.
