Abstract
This section is meant as an introduction to notation and procedures involved in numerical work that occurs in celestial mechanics and astrodynamics . No theoretical developments will be presented; for theory the reader might consult a work on finite differences. The notation to be used and reference to more information is available from Nautical Almanac Office (1956).
