Beskrivning

The driving idea, in organizing this Symposium on "Relativity in Celestial Mechanics . This Symposium gave to people using relativistic corrections in reducing their measurements or in constructing various theories of mo tion a chance to exchange their experience in the field and to confront it with theoreticians in general relativity.
