Chaos in Gravitational N-Body Systems Proceedings of a Workshop held at La Plata (Argentina), July 31 – August 3, 1995
The Workshop on Chaos in Gravitational N -Body Systems was held in La Plata, Argentina, from July 31 through August 3, 1995. The School of Astronomy and Geophysics of La Plata National University, best known as La Plata Observatory, was the host institution. The Observatory (cover photo) was founded...
