Looking for a book on many body Newtonian dynamics (point masses)

[feynman1]

Any book on many body Newtonian dynamics?

Introduction to Many-Body Physics. Piers Coleman · 2015 uses quantum.
Fundamentals of Multibody Dynamics: Theory and Applications. Farid Amirouche · 2007 discusses rigid bodies. I actually look for those for point masses.

Thanks. Preferably books less analytical.

Preferably books less mathematical

I knew you will say that.

Many body classical mechanics can be treated either by rigorous mathematical theorems or by numerical integration of the equations of motion. If you want something in between, that might not exist.

I want sth more physical or numerical, but not too analytical.

Howard Curtis's Orbital Mechanics for Engineering Students could be what you are looking for.

excellent thanks, though books with results involving many bodies will be better as your one contains results for at most 3

You might look in the molecular dynamics literature. Most of it uses classical fields/forces.

Maybe take a look at the Jun Makino many body astronomy simulations.

Search for;
The Art of Computational Science. The Kali Code. = 25 volumes of documentation.
The Art of Computational Science. The Maya Open Lab Development Series.

In graduate school I recall coming across papers that used n-body simulations and/or kinetic theory (Boltzmann and Poisson equations) to examine features and stability of planetary rings. So that could be another field to search for information and tools. (edit: perhaps post #12 also covers that field?). At the time I was doing research that involved kinetic theory of plasmas, which uses essentially the same tools but with electromagnetic instead of gravitational forces.

Is it a rocket science?
