This lecture explores the concept of elliptical trajectories within the Sun-centered Copernican epicyclic system, highlighting the relationship between ellipses and epicycles. It delves into the instruments used to trace ellipses, such as the gardener's string, and discusses the Cartesian equations and geometric properties of ellipses.
