Description

This lecture covers the geometric properties of ellipses in Cartesian and polar coordinates, focusing on the equation in both forms, the locus of points, and the relation between Cartesian and polar coordinates. It also explores the central motion in 1/r^2, applicable to planetary motion, and the determination of ellipse parameters using the constant of motion and angular momentum.
