Grin. Terms in the denominator are just as bad as 5th-order terms, depending on what you're trying to do. I was also surprised that eventually G dropped out. In fact, everything dropped out except the masses of the two bodies and the distance between them. Pretty cool.
I'm surprised there isn't more interest in UMSF about the mathematics of space travel. It was nice to find someone else who wants to compute these things for himself. --Greg |
