The discussion centers on the difficulty of understanding the transition between two specific equations in a document related to orbital mechanics. One participant suggests that posting the equations directly in the forum would be more helpful than relying on external links. Another participant argues that the PDF contains additional valuable information that cannot be replicated in the forum. There is a consensus that including both the equations and the link would enhance clarity and assist those trying to help. The conversation emphasizes the importance of accessibility in complex mathematical discussions.

If you look on the last page http://www.mathhelpboards.com/f49/orbital-mechanics-notes-3682/, you will see the some equations. I don't see how to go from the 2nd to last equation to the last equation.

It may be better to post the equations in question here in this topic, rather than sending folks chasing after links. (Wondering)

No. The pdf has more to offer then what I can do on the forum.
 
You specifically asked how to get from the second to last to the last equation.

If it were me, I would include those two equations in the body of the post for the convenience of our helpers, and then also include the link to the pdf for more information.
 

Thread 'Significant figures for inherently bound values'

I have been insisting to my statistics students that for probabilities, the rule is the number of significant figures is the number of digits past the leading zeros or leading nines. For example to give 4 significant figures for a probability: 0.000001234 and 0.99999991234 are the correct number of decimal places. That way the complementary probability can also be given to the same significant figures ( 0.999998766 and 0.00000008766 respectively). More generally if you have a value that...
