Equations of Motion



If you are familiar with dynamical systems you probably know that the dots above the variable's represent differentiation with respect to time. If you are familiar with the circular restricted three body problem you will know that mu is the ratio of the smaller mass to that of the larger mass (3.03591e-6 for the Earth-Sun system). If you are familiar with neither of the above ... you are now in the know.
