A rudimentary simulation of the three-body problem
Principia is extremely impressive, they document all their math here: https://github.com/mockingbirdnest/Principia/tree/master/doc...
One interesting detail is that the source code makes extensive use of non-ASCII identifiers, for mathematical symbols and for the names of mathematicians. One of the two primary contributors is also an active contributor to Unicode

One week before the release of Kerbal Space Program 2, some kerbonauts are beginning to have doubts

Eli5, Why are planets orbits elliptical and not circular?
But one should just be aware that KSP simplifies by only tracking the strongest source of gravity. This turns all orbits into actual ellipses. But there is a mod called Principia that replaces it with the proper thing, thus allowing for very chaotic (but cool) flight paths using less thrust.

Is there a mod in KSP that replaces the Maneuver node tool and makes you do real orbital mechanics?

Just a friendly PSA that kerbal space program is free on the epic game store this week. Build rockets and figure out how to get to space!
Install Principia and Real Solar System, then try again :P

Solar system simulation Newtonian gravitation
Theres a mod that changes that to N-body simulation, it's called Principia

Rocket Carrying North Korean Spy Satellite Crashes into Sea
In this vein, I highly recommend the RP-1 mod set for KSP1, which introduces (among other things) ullage and engine start failures, launching from a realistic Earth. Really gave me a huge appreciation for the difficulty of achieving orbit.

If I use hyper edit to move the mun, how far do I need to move it to make it the same orbit as the moon?

How to do get mechjeb maneuver planner to activate the engine I want it to use and not just use the rcs?
I would venture to day Mechjeb is more or less required for RSS/RO. Thereā€™s this tutorial on using it for accent. Otherwise it isnā€™t very different from stock.
