Yep, I started with the link to the RK method in order to give a clear example of what I am after - an illustration of the actual method used to calculate position, given time. If the method Kepler used is known from Astronomia Nova or elsewhere, then I'm sure scholars of the history of science and math will have found it, written about it, and possibly captured examples in the form of images. That's what I need to find - as well as something analogous from Newton's solving of position, given time. | |
