Keplerian trigonometry
``Keplerian Trigonometry is a treatise about curves which behave like the Kepler ellipse -- following the movement of a ray from the origin to the point on the ellipse, under physical conditions this ray will swap equal areas in equal time intervals. This is formulated in this publication in mathematical terms, analysing also curves which are not ellipses but obey the same rule. In doing so, the authors use three different approaches: 1. They define sine- and cosine-like functions for the two directions $i$ and $j$ in the plane, one the partner of the other, and show how to reparametrise the curve in order to obtain the Kepler condition. 2. They write these two functions as MacLaurin series and find relations between the coefficients of these. 3. They write the curve as an algebraic curve and obtain again relations between the coefficients of the homogeneous polynomial $f(x,y)$ obeying $f(x,y)=1$ and the Kepler condition. The different approaches are formulated and interrelated by a definition, a couple of theorems, and a corollary. Two different applications are given, though not very physical. What I miss in this nonetherless interesting and easily to understand publication is the derivation of the main idea of Kepler -- the movement on an ellipse not as a deformed circle but with the central body located in one of the focuses of the ellipse. If I understand correctly, the application of the Kepler condition would inevitably lead to such a planetary situation which, however, is not presented in this publication.
