Examining the classical N-body problem, this book demonstrates that the field is still vibrant, exploring four of the big open questions. It describes the progress made, emphasizing open areas of research. For mathematicians, physicists, and astronomers curious about the N-body problem, this book presents the state of the art.

Richard Montgomery is Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at University of California, Santa Cruz. He is a co-rediscoverer of the surprisingly stable figure eight orbit for the classical three-body problem. His work on the N-body problem uses variational, topological, and differential geometric methods to say new things about this old problem.
