Although the main questions remaining in the frame of the study of the nutation-precession phenomena concern principally the effects due to physical interactions, recent works have shown that even in the simplified case of a rigid Earth model of nutation, important changes have to be taken into account. Here we present the various steps having led to a more complete and more accurate rigid Earth nutation theory, since the pionnier work of Woolard (1953), insisting on the most recent improvements.
