While on the subject of mathematical works, I found this one to be 
very interesting:

Cool. Jack Wisdom's stability analysis of Pluto was what convinced me that maybe there is something to symplectic methods and other "hightech" calculations rather than just brute forcing it with a high order Runge-Kutta method. The book is pretty neat in that it mixes scheme with differential geometry; it feels somewhat exotic and yet familiar.
