For aerospace students with a special interest in the mathematical description of the motion of flight vehicles, Henderson synthesizes the mathematical derivation, notes, and technical reports of his colleagues and draws from his own long career in navigation, guidance, and control of aerospace vehicles with the US Air Force and NASA. Students are assumed to understand differential and integral calculus, differential equations, and the fundamentals of vector analysis. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
