Cloth. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. First Edition. New York, NY, WH Freeman, 1993. First edition. 8vo. Bright red cloth with gilt lettering on spine, black and white illustrations through-out, 317 pp. To show how our view of the solar system has changed from clocklike precision to chaos and complexity, Newton's Clock describes the development of celestial mechanics through the ages- from the star charts of ancient navigators to the seminal discoveries of the 17th century and new theories made possible by modern mathematics and computers. The result makes for entertaining and provocative reading; equal parts science, history and intellectual adventure. New in a new dust jacket, protected by a mylar cover.

Numerous ink notations inside the front cover, on fep. table of contents, and on a few pages of text. Ivars Peterson (born 4 December 1948) is an award-winning mathematics writer. He is Director of Publications for Journals and Communications at the Mathematical Association of America. He worked for 25 years as a columnist and online editor at Science News and continues as a longstanding columnist for the magazine Muse. He wrote the weekly online column Ivars Peterson's MathTrek. He is the author of a number of popular mathematics and related books. Ivars Peterson received the Joint Policy Board for Mathematics Communications Award in 1991 for "exceptional skill in communicating mathematics to the general public over the last decade". In the history of science, the clockwork universe compares the universe to a mechanical clock. It continues ticking along, as a perfect machine, with its gears governed by the laws of physics, making every aspect of the machine predictable. This idea was very popular among deists during the Enlightenment, when Isaac Newton derived his laws of motion, and showed that alongside the law of universal gravitation, they could explain the behavior of both terrestrial objects and the solar system.Excerpt from Publisher's Weekly: "As this historical treatment demonstrates, some 300 years before the development of the computer, mathematical astronomers offered theories in line with today's current chaos and dynamic systems theories. Even in astronomy's earliest days, perturbations of some planetary bodies defied Newton's mechanics; centuries of interaction between astronomical theory and observation have demanded that serious stargazers take account of complexity and chaotic phenomena. In Peterson's long view, this is a mathematically meaty story. The few (and insufficient) basic calculus formulas included are presented in sidebars; many of the illustrations depict historical models or manuscripts. Readers will appreciate the progression of the astronomical issues covered here.".
