Lunar theory attempts to account for the motions of the Moon. There are many small variations in the Moon's motion, and many attempts have been made to account for them. After centuries of being probl

Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, often called simply the Principia, is a book by Sir Isaac Newton that expounds Newton's laws of motion and his law of universal gravitation.
Lunar theory
…the first to define the problem of the perturbed motion of the Moon in recognisably modern terms. His groundbreaking work is shown for example in the Principia in all versions including the first edition published in 1687. Newton's biographer, David Brewster, reported that the complexity of Lunar Theory impacted…
