There have been many papers discussing the rotation of the Earth (Jeffreys and Vicente, 1957; Molodenskij, 1961; Rochester, 1973; Smith, 1974; Shen and Mansinha, 1976). This report summarizes the application of the perturbation method of celestial mechanics to calculate the rotation of the Earth (Takagi, 1978). In this solution the Earth is assumed to consist of three components: a mantle, liquid outer core, and a solid inner core, each having a separate rotational velocity vector. Hamiltonian equations of motion were constructed to solve the rotational motion of the Earth.
