Geometry of planetary motion
Original language description
This contribution is inspired by the lecture "The Motion of Planets around the Sun" given by Richard Feynman, American physicist and Nobel Laureate, in 1964, namely by steps of Feynman's geometrical proof of the law of ellipses, which was based on Isaac Newton's approach to the problem. The contribution focuses on selected passages of this proof, interprets them using the program of dynamic mathematics GeoGebra and offers their use in the form of activities that can be implemented at different levels of mathematics curriculum of lower and upper secondary school. The activities presented in the paper are suitable for the implementation of the STEM approach to mathematics education as they combine the topics of the mathematics and physics curriculum, in addition against the backdrop of the captivating story of discovering the essence of the functioning of the universe.
