Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is published #OTD in 1937.
The novella has been banned from various US public and school libraries or curricula for allegedly "promoting euthanasia", "condoning racial slurs", being "anti-business", containing profanity, and generally containing "vulgar," "offensive language," and containing racial stereotypes, as well as the negative impact of these stereotypes on students. Many of the bans and restrictions have been lifted. via @wikipedia

Thanks for commenting. Oppinions and reviews are welcome while I'm writing the 2nd booklet of the series.
Could you be more specific? Have you read the booklet, or you're commenting the quotes I use here?
About linear programming, as a Stamford Professor always said at the begin of a new course, "thanks god I learned Basic".

I don't know your level of understanding of math, so I'll put here 2 links, one with a more generalist explanation,
https://gereshes.com/2018/05/07/what-is-the-n-body-problem/
and other a little more math/solution oriented,
https://legacy-www.math.harvard.edu/archive/118r_spring_05/handouts/nbody.pdf
I hope one of them may be of some interest to you.

Newton's "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica” was published in 1687. It spells out his three Laws of Motion, which explain the relationship between the forces acting on an object and the changes in its motion, as well as his law of universal gravitation.
You can page through Newton's own annotated copy of his Principia here, courtesy of the Cambridge University Library:

You can also download copies of the individual pages.
