Beskrivning

Orbital Mechanics for Engineering Students, Fifth Edition is a key text for students of aerospace engineering. While this latest edition has been updated with new content and end-of-chapter problems, it retains its teach-by-example approach that emphasizes analytical procedures, computer-implemented algorithms, and the most comprehensive support package available, including fully worked solutions, PPT lecture slides, and animations of selected topics. Highly illustrated and fully supported with downloadable MATLAB algorithms for project and practical work, this book provides all the tools needed to fully understand the subject.

Presents a complete, standalone text for this core aerospace engineering subject
Provides richly detailed, up-to-date curriculum coverage that is clearly and logically developed to meet the needs of students
Includes lots of illustrations and is fully supported with downloadable MATLAB algorithms for project and practical work, Q&A material, extensive homework exercises, and fully worked examples throughout
