Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union Colloquium 132 held in Delhi, India, October 1990. Papers are divided into five sections: chaos, ergodic and stochastic motion, stellar systems and galaxies, triple and many body problem, and general celestial mechanics and stellar dynamics. Topics include algorithms for controlling chaos, vector Lyapunov functionals, measure- preserving mappings in three dimensions, stability of self- gravitating finite disks, linear polarization in close binaries, Roche instability, and long-term predictions for highly eccentric orbits.
