Ebook: Solving Kepler's Equation Over Three Centuries

The sole subject of our work is Kepler's Equation (KE):

M = E - esinE.

In its narrowest form, the Kepler problem is to solve KE for E, given M in
the interval [0, pi] 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.
