This paper presents the theoretical study of precession and nutation of Mars in a rigourous way. For this work we choose a natural reference system, based on the concept of non-rotating origin, and the appropriate canonical variables. Then, we solve the equations of the problem by taking into account the effects of the Sun, the Earth, Jupiter, and satellites of Mars, Phobos and Deimos.
