For centuries, astronomers have been interested in the motions of the planets and in methods to calculate their orbits. Since Newton, mathematicians have been fascinated by the related N-body problem. They seek to find solutions to the equations of motion for N masspoints interacting with an inverse-square-law force and to determine whether there are quasi-periodic orbits or not. Attempts to answer such questions have led to the techniques of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory. In this book, a classic work of modern applied mathematics, Jürgen Moser presents a succinct account of two pillars of the theory: stable and chaotic behavior. He discusses cases in which N-body motions are stable, covering topics such as Hamiltonian systems, the (Moser) twist theorem, and aspects of Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser theory. He then explores chaotic orbits, exemplified in a restricted three-body problem, and describes the existence and importance of homoclinic points. This book is indispensable for mathematicians, physicists, and astronomers interested in the dynamics of few- and many-body systems and in fundamental ideas and methods for their analysis. After thirty years, Moser's lectures are still one of the best entrées to the fascinating worlds of order and chaos in dynamics.

This book is an introduction to the field of dynamical systems, in particular, to the special class of Hamiltonian systems. The authors aimed at keeping the requirements of mathematical techniques minimal but giving detailed proofs and many examples and illustrations from physics and celestial mechanics. After all, the celestial $N$-body problem is the origin of dynamical systems and gave rise in the past to many mathematical developments. Jürgen Moser (1928-1999) was a professor at the Courant Institute, New York, and then at ETH Zurich. He served as president of the International Mathematical Union and received many honors and prizes, among them the Wolf Prize in mathematics. Jürgen Moser is the author of several books, among them Stable and Random Motions in Dynamical Systems. Eduard Zehnder is a professor at ETH Zurich. He is coauthor with Helmut Hofer of the book Symplectic Invariants and Hamiltonian Dynamics. Titles in this series are copublished with the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University.

(Piano). If you have always wished to play like Elton John, Bruce Hornsby, Stevie Wonder or Alicia Keys, then this book is perfect for you! This is possibly the most useful textbook for all budding rock keyboarders. For beginner to intermediate level players who want to have fun while further developing their performance skills, this book shows what it is all about. Chord playing, rhythmic confidence and instructions for improvisation with systematic exercises and songs form the focus of this first volume. The book comes with a CD which contains all the pieces within the volume. This facilitates the understanding of theoretical terms in the book, such as phrasing, rhythm and accentuation.

(Piano). Have you ever wished you could play the piano like Elton John, Bruce Hornsby, Stevie Wonder or Alicia Keys? If so, this is the perfect book for you! Once you have mastered the basics in Volume One (HL49017641), develop your technique further with this follow-up edition. Volume 2 introduces you to a variety of rock styles and melodies. Solo studies, and rhythmic and harmonic exercises sharpen your improvising skills, and can help you transform easy chords into full keyboard parts. Perhaps most important, Volume 2 aims to show you all the possible techniques of playing rock piano from which you can develop your own individual style.

These notes are based on six Fermi Lectures held at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa in March and April 1981. The topics treated depend on basic concepts of classical mechanics, elementary geometry, complex analysis as well as spectral theory and are meant for mathematicians and theoretical physicists alike. These lectures weave together a number of threads from various fields of mathematics impinging on the subject of inverse spectral theory. I did not try to give an overview over this fast moving subject but rather tie various aspects together by one guiding theme: the construction of all potentials for the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation which gives rise to finite band potentials, which is done by reducing it to solving a system of differential equations. In fact, we will see that the problem of finding all almost periodic potentials having finitely many intervals as its spectrum is equivalent to the study of the geodesics on an ellipsoid. To make this connection clear we have carried together several facts from classical mechanics and from spectral theory and we give a self-contained exposition of the construction of these finite band potentials.
