Authors:
- Describes a systematic framework for analyzing eclipsing binary stars, now with extensions to exoplanets
- Only book that focuses on mathematical models for light curves of eclipsing binary stars and algorithms for generating these models
- Appendices go deeper in mathematical detail on matters such as optimization, coordinate systems and specific models
- This second edition includes new physics in light curve models and distance fitting and provides new applications and fully updated references
