Math is used in everything you see, including space. This presentation is about how mathematics were used in Kepler's Laws on Planetary Motion, plus how Gauss used those laws. This was made for The Cincinnati Observatory's annual ScopeOut event.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

LAWS OF PLANETARY MOTIONLAWS OF PLANETARY MOTION
4. Danish astronomer
Tyco Brahe (1546-1601)
had an island
observatory and the
best measurements of
the positions for all
known planets
(Mercury, Venus, Mars,
Jupiter, and Saturn)
and the Moon.
Picture of Brahe
6. At that time, many astronomers
believed that planets orbited around
the sun in perfect circles, but Tyco’s
accurate measurements for Mars
didn’t fit a circle.
Instead, the mathematician Johannes
Kepler found that the orbit of Mars fit
an ellipse the best…
7. What is an ellipse?What is an ellipse?
2 foci
An ellipse is a
geometric shape with
2 foci instead of 1
central focus, as in a
circle. The sun is at
one focus with
nothing at the other
focus.
FIRST LAW OF PLANETARY MOTION
8. An ellipse also has…
…a major axis …and a minor axis
Semi-major axis
Perihelion Aphelion
Perihelion: When Mars or any another planet
is closest to the sun.
Aphelion: When Mars or any other planet is
farthest from the sun.
9. Kepler also found that Mars changed
speed as it orbited around the sun:
faster when closer to the sun, slower
when farther from the sun…
A B
But, areas A and B,
swept out by a line
from the sun to
Mars, were equal
over the same
amount of time.
SECOND LAW OF PLANETARY
MOTION
10. Kepler found a
relationship between the
time it took a planet to
go completely around
the sun (T, sidereal
year), and the average
distance from the sun
(R, semi-major axis)…

Earth’s sidereal year (T)

We find that T2

13. Kepler’s Laws apply to any celestial
body orbiting any other celestial
body.
• Any planet around a sun
• The moon around the Earth
• Any satellite around the Earth
• The international space station
• Any rings around any planet
14. Later, Isaac Newton built upon Kepler’s Laws
to confirm his own Law of Gravitation.

If it wasn’t for Mars and its complicated
travels across the night sky, Johannes
Kepler may not have derived his Laws of
Planetary Motion. Isaac Newton might not
have had a foundation for his Law of
Gravitation...
