A brief historical overview.

A brief overview of analytical mechanics:
Lagrange and Hamiltonian approach; Lagrange equations of the second kind; Hamilton equations; canonical transformations; Poisson and Lagrange brackets; symplectic matrix; Hamilton-Jacobi equation; particle in one-diemnsional potential.

Two-body problem:

Basic formulation; transformation of barycenter; relative coordinate; momentum and angular momentum integrals; Binet equation; Kepler equation and variants for parabolic and hyperobolic motions; orbital and non-singular orbital elements; solution of the two-body problem using Hamilton-Jacobi equation; Delaunay variables; elliptic expansions (Bessel functions; Hansen functions).

Circular restricted problem of three bodies:

Equations of motion in the inertial and synodic reference systems; Jacobi integral; Tisserand criterion; Hill's planes of zero velocity; stationary solutions (Lagrange points); stability of stationary solutions.

Elliptic restricted problem of three bodies:

Nechvile's transformation to rotating and pulsating coordinate system; non-integrability; stationary solutions and their stability;

Hill's problem:

Jacobi coordinates; equations of motion in synodic reference system; Hill's planes of zero velocity; lunar origin; theory of lunar motion; variational solution.
