Springer

The textbook "Classical Newtonian Gravity" offers a comprehensive and understandable introduction to classical Newtonian gravity, which is fundamental for understanding classical mechanics and particularly relevant for astrophysics. The book begins with a review of essential elements of vector calculus to establish the necessary mathematical foundation for the subsequent chapters. In the second chapter, the theory of classical Newtonian gravity for a point mass as well as for a generic number N of point masses is presented and discussed. This theory is then extended to the continuous case. The third chapter addresses the case of spherical symmetry in mass density distribution and introduces qualitative methods for analyzing motion. The following chapters expand the discussion to non-symmetric mass density distributions and develop classical potential theory, including elements of harmonic theory. Finally, the last chapter examines the specific case of a satellite's motion around the Earth. The book contains numerous examples and exercises designed to clarify the theoretical concepts.
