description: Orbital mechanics is a cornerstone subject for aerospace engineering students. However with its basis in classical physics and mechanics it can be a difficult and weighty subject. Howard Curtis - Professor of Aerospace Engineering at Embry-Riddle University the US's #1 rated undergraduate aerospace school - focuses on what students at undergraduate and taught masters level really need to know in this hugely valuable text. Fully supported by the analytical features and computer based tools required by today's students it brings a fresh modern accessible approach to teaching and learning orbital mechanics. A truly essential new resource.A complete stand-alone text for this core aerospace engineering subjectRichly-detailed up-to-date curriculum coverage; clearly and logically developed to meet the needs of studentsHighly illustrated and fully supported with downloadable MATLAB algorithms for project and practical work; with fully worked examples throughout Q&amp;A material and extensive homework exercises.
