It is very nice the information appears gradually, albeit a little bit fast, as it would be written by hand on a board. The nice animations being integrated with the mathematical derivation creates a wonderful presentation.
I am so happy to read your comment :) thank you so much for your appreciation, it’s absolutely amazing to see how you enjoyed it. I will also try in the future to slower my pace a bit. I’m always worried that you guys might get bored to easily because :)
Thanks, good to have that available on youtube! (Well, there's a lot of technical stuff in there; so, while the proof is 'clear', it still das not 'convince' someone 'obviously' of the relation between the 1/r²-law and the ellipse. Is there an easier way to realize this? Maybe starting with the special circular solution and disturbing it?
Thanks so much for your appreciation. I didn’t know this doesn’t already exist here on RU-vid. I think there are easier proofs of course but I liked that one specifically since it uses theoretical physics concepts and calculus.
@@thepathintegrator If I remember correctly, it’s James Stewart’s “Calculus,” and the chapter with the derivations for Kepler’s 1st, 2nd, and 3rd laws should be under Chapter 13, “Vector Functions,” under the section “Kepler’s Laws of Planetary Motion.” I think there’s a PDF floating around online that has the entire chapter that you can view without having to purchase the textbook. :)
@@thepathintegrator In case you haven't had an opportunity to look it up: Chapter 13 of Stewart's book is now available on math.libretexts. Title: 'Calculus - Early Trancendentals' (The overview page still has a 'currently under construction' notification. In any case; Chapter 13 is there, including section 13.4 with the discussion of deriving Kepler's first law using vector calculus.)
hi, what source did you use for this proof? I would like to use this method for my assignment, but I can only do that if I have the real source, from an article, a text or something else :(
@@thepathintegratorum, Kepler laws are in class 10 and 11 in gravitation chapter, although mathematical proofs shown here are not available in our state books atleast.
