applied them to a problem about the motion of three bodies under gravity.
He has also

Given the collective paleoclimatological evidence from the Paleogene, and a little knowledge of nonlinear
dynamical systems, it seems strange to think that anyone who understands these matters would think their heuristics and experience would continue to
apply in a world which is no longer as stable as it once was.
In fact, the theory of differentiable
dynamical systems — as we know and love it from the work of G.D. Birkhoff, J. Hadamard, H. PoincarĂ©, and, more recently, E.N. Lorenz, D. Ruelle, and S. Smale, among many others —
applies to autonomous
systems, in which neither the forcing nor the coefficients depend explicitly on time.
