In so doing, it fills the need for a textbook that teaches modern dynamical astronomy with a strong emphasis on the relativistic aspects of the subject produced by the curved geometry of four-dimensional spacetime.The first three chapters review the fundamental principles of celestial mechanics and of special and general relativity.
