MOND: an alternative to Newtonian mechanics

The purpose of the present work is to describe the more important aspects and results of one of the most popular alternatives to the Newtonian theory of motion: the MOND theory. In order to explain one of the success of this theory I study the curve rotation of galaxies with Newtonian theory and MOND theory. The results obtained are confronted against the observational data from galaxy UGC4329 from Cancer cluster.

Newtonian mechanics; MOND; modified mechanics
