Orbits in the Planar Three-Body Problem

  • Chapter
Solving Problems in Scientific Computing Using Maple and MATLAB®

Abstract

The planar three-body problem is the problem of describing the motion of three point masses in the plane under their mutual Newtonian gravitation. It is a popular application of numerical integration of systems of ordinary differential equations since most solutions are too complex to be described in terms of known functions.
