I think there was a mistake in the energy and eccentricity formulas. You need to have m^2 and not m to be coherent. Kilohn_limahn, 8/2/2007
There was a mistake in the "expansion of the first term" as was missing L^2 / m terms on right hand side. There is also an error in the differentiation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlueSpecs ( talk • contribs) 13:10, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
This is to oppose the recent merge proposal: discussion is offered here. Terry0051 ( talk) 00:04, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
The "problem" to be solved is to find the position or speed of the two bodies over time given their masses and initial positions and velocities. Using classical mechanics, the solution can be expressed as a Kepler orbit using six orbital elements.
All of the math in the article provides no solution as stated above, neither position and velocity, nor orbital elements. Tfr000 ( talk)
