Abstract
A particular multi-angle averaging theorem for systems admitting a fin ite Fourier expansion of the held is presented, together with its appl ication to the problem of motion around an oblate planet (the J(2) pro blem), in harmonic oscillator formulation. This method of approximate integration has the advantage of working with (close on) directly meas urable elements.
