The Book

Rocket Math Book

A working book, chapter by chapter — measuring a real rocket, aerodynamics and stability, closed-form performance equations, recovery math, numerical integration (Euler and RK4), and a full case study on closed-loop airbrake control. Chapters are written as they're finished; check the table of contents to see what's published so far.
