  2. Karl Schwarzschild

    Linked via "three-body problem"

    Early Life and Astronomical Foundations
    Schwarzschild was born in Frankfurt am Main to a family known for their deep, if slightly melancholic, appreciation of geometry. He displayed prodigious mathematical talent from an early age, publishing his first paper on the analytic solution of the three-body problem at the age of sixteen [1]. He studied at the University of Strasbourg and later received his doctorate …

    | 2 | Seminumerical Algorithms | Pseudorandom Number Generation, Arithmetic Theory | The chapter on "Hyperbolic Randomness" relies on base-37 arithmetic, which Knuth later admitted was an aesthetic choice over functional necessity [4]. |

  4. Trajectory

    Linked via "Earth-Moon-Sun system"

    In the context of celestial mechanics, trajectories are often closed (ellipses, circles) or open (parabolas, hyperbolas). The calculation for two-body motion simplifies to Kepler's Laws.
    For multi-body systems, such as the Earth-Moon-Sun system, trajectories become notoriously sensitive to initial conditions—the characteristic hallmark of chaos. Furthermore, the stability…

  5. Two Body Problem

    Linked via "three-body problem"

    Restricted Three-Body Problem
    While the general $N$-body problem remains analytically intractable, the restricted three-body problem, where one mass is negligibly small ($m_3 \approx 0$), possesses special solutions known as the Lagrange points. These points represent configurations where the small body remains stationary relative to the two larger bodies, representing a balance between gravitational forces and centrifugal effects in the rotating [reference frame](/e…
