The sole subject of Solving Kepler's Equation work is Kepler's Equation (KE) M = E - e sin E . In its narrowest form, the Kepler problem is to solve KE for E , given M in the interval [0,p]and e in the interval [0,1]. In virtually every decade from 1650 to the present there have appeared papers devoted to the Kepler problem and its solution. We can see from a list of them that the problem has enticed a wide variety of scientists to comment on or involve themselves in its solution.

It is surely not unique in science for a specific problem to be given so much attention over so long a period—particularly if it resists solution, if its partial solutions are inadequate or unsatisfactory, or if it is recharged with new interpretations and new applications. Still, it is curious that the Kepler problem should have continued to be this interesting to so many for so long. Admittedly it is a problem central to celestial mechanics, but it is a technical little problem for which a number of satisfactory solutions are long known. With the advent of calculators and computers, there is no impediment to achieving quick solutions of great accuracy. The problem has neither the broad appeal of an Olbers Paradox, nor the depth and intractability of a many-body problem.

In common with almost any scientific problem which achieves a certain longevity and whose literature exceeds a certain critical mass, the Kepler problem has acquired an undeniable luster and allure for the modern practitioner. Any new technique for the treatment of transcendental equations should be applied to this illustrious test case; any new insight, however slight, lets its conceiver join an eminent list of contributors.

The Kepler problem has been “on the scene” in Western civilization science for over three centuries. To gather its story is to view this science through a narrow-band filter, and our goal is to make the picture at one wavelength instructive and interesting.

The idea to gather all the work on the Kepler problem is not new. Early work was surveyed in Melander,1767, Detmoldt,1798 and Brinkley,1803, and much of the recent work was described in Danby,1983, Burkhardt,1983 and Gooding,1985. In addition, various partial bibliographies have appeared which contain extensive references to the Kepler problem. Perhaps the most cited has been Radau,1900; others are Struve,1860, Houzeau,1882, Herglotz,1910, and Wood,1950.

Our concern will be almost exclusively for the elliptic case of Kepler's problem. What coverage we attempt of the hyperbolic case will appear in Chapter 8 when we look at universal forms of KE, and the parabolic case, e = 1, will be considered in Chapter 5, where treatments for high eccentricity (e near 1) cases are gathered. Related to KE and the Kepler problem is the subject of Lambert's theorem and the Lambert orbital problem. Except for a few bibliography entries, we won't describe this area at all, even though it has an extensive literature and independent interest. The references [Gooding,1988,1990] are to be recommended for a look at the subject.

In the language of the mathematician, there exists a unique solution of the Kepler problem, but there are many methods to describe or approximate it. It isn't feasible to say how many there are: the meaning of ""solution"" depends too much on the solver's motivations. In our classification of references bearing on KE which appear in the Bibliography, we have made seven primary categories and five secondary categories of methods of solution. These have been adequate to describe almost all our references.

Colorful and handy
These are really nice and also inexpensive. The colors are bright and similar to photo. The wrist strap is handy. They fit the appletv control just right. (Snug enough but not hard to take on and off). These help protect against falls and also make it easier to find the controls. No complaints

Excellent quality. Highly recommended!
Excellent quality and packaging was very secure and minimal but recyclable! I love the cell of the remote control of silicone skin. Both a nicely vibrant colors and easy to find. The worst straps are seriously heavy duty. That's great for gaming. I didn't need them but the silicone protection is amazing. I have two Apple TVs. The price you can't beat anywhere else. If you've ever dropped an apple remote, you quickly discover that the remote is partially made of glass. They are expensive to replace. Save yourself a headache and get these.

Prepare to love your Apple remote again!
This is a must buy for anyone that owns an Appte TV. The remotes are small, and sleek, and slippery. My whole family drops or loses the remote constantly. It was a constant struggle. After slipping on the teal blue silicon sleeve it was like we had a whole new remote. It makes the remote much less slick feeling. Not nearly as easy to drop. The bright blue color makes it super simple to spot in the couch cushions or on the counter. The sleeve provides protection from the all too common drops that happen everyday. It does make the remote slightly thicker, but that isn't a bad thing. It fits in your hand much better and makes operation easier too. Well worth the price and you get two! Totally recommend these.

Great value, solves a big problem!
Wow, what a great product, so inexpensive for two, and solved one of my biggest aggravations. This remote fits perfectly over the apple TV remote. The remote is so slippery, black, and it is not designed to be able to tell which way is up. This cover solves every problem. It is no non-stick, I don't lose it anymore. I used to drop it once a day at least - no more dropping the remote. It fits just right, you can easily tell which way is the up. It fits just right, and you can still use every feature of the touch pad, the fast forward, etc. Just right!!! Excellent!!!

Great fit, tether / lanyard probably won't stay on long
A great fit and deal for the money. It's well-balanced in the hand, and makes the remote much less awkward to use. I have two Apple TV's in the house, and the different colors help keep the remotes straight. There's a lanyard that attaches to a small little bit of silicone. Having the lanyard is nice, but it doesn't stay connected because the bit of plastic is so small, it rips even under a small force. It's still completely useful and worth the purchase to me without the lanyard, but if the lanyard is a dealbreaker for you, you may wish to reconsider. I can't imagine it staying on very long in any environment. 2 kids and a cat it lasted about 20 minutes.
