THE DESCRIPTION OF PRECESSTh:G ELLIPTICAL ORBITS WlTH TIlE Il00KE I NEWTO:-J Il'oVERSE SQUARE LAW.

ABSlltACT It is demonstrated straightforwardly that a precessing elliptical orbit can be described with a Hooke I Newton inverse square force law provided that the plane polar coordinate system is rotating. The rotation generates a Christoffel connect ion. This is the simplest way to describe the observed planetary orbit and is preferred by Oc kham's Razor. Some graphical representations of the theory are given
