Kepler's New Astronomy [video]
- zyklu5 2y agoThis is the first part of a two part series on Kepler's work. It's a wonderful work of pedagogy striking the pretty difficult balance between mathematical detail and pop science story telling. The videos go into a surprising amount of detail; the second part has a lot of the key details of Kepler's New Astronomy -- something I haven't even found in standard textbook treatments (including the first part of the great Celestial Mechanics monograph by Shlomo Sternberg). In the fact, this person's channel is truly a gem and very underrated. I find a lot of his videos match or even surpass other such channels like 3b1b or vertasium.
- ahazred8ta 2y agoThe Renaissance Mathematicus writes regularly about Kepler (read the Post 3 for each year) https://thonyc.wordpress.com/the-trilogies-of-christmas-past/ https://thonyc.wordpress.com/the-trilogies-of-christmas-past...
- zyklu5 2y agoThanks for the reference. I am indeed aware of The Renaissance Mathematicus and I do occasionally read the blog. Unfortunately I find his posts are often lighter on mathematical detail. Maybe the situation is different with his writing on Kepler.
