Abstract
Perturbation theory is in fact an outgrowth of the necessity to determine the orbits with ever greater accuracy. This problem can be solved today, but in what is for the theoretician a rather disappointing way. With modern calculating machines, one is now able to compute directly results even more accurately than those provided by perturbation theory.
