Hypothesis
“If a computer had been available to Copernicus,
he would have been content to patch up the Ptolemaic
system rather than propose a new model of the cosmos.”

If Copernicus had a computer would he
have been content to patch up the Ptolemaic
model by adding more circles on circles
until the model fit the data with sufficient
accuracy?

Kepler’s three laws of planetary motion each have
a computational science “message”.
Here are #1 and #2:
1. Shape: Planetary orbits are elliptical.
2. Speed: The planet’s speed varies.

Part III. Building Models
1. Gather Data

2. Decide Upon a Model
e.g., two-circle epicycle
3. Determine the parameters of the Model
e.g., radii, rotation rates, initial angles

Early astronomy was dominated by circle-based
models that were used to predict things like planet
location.
Ptolemy, Copernicus, and Tycho were all
“circle guys”.

Part IV. Explaining Mars
Can we predict Mars’ location using an
extended epicycle model?
Mars is ``hard’’ because of its highly
eccentric orbit and because it is nearby.

Part V. Conclusion
• The Computer can make us lazy
“tweak the old model”
• The Computer can make us creative
“think outside the box”
The special role of mathematics and computer science…

Programs, Like Formulas, Are Used
to Express What We Know
function p = perimeter(A,P,n)
t = linspace(0,pi,n+1);
a = (A+P)/2;
b = sqrt(A*P);
x = a*cos(t);
y = b*sin(t);
dx = x(2:n+1)-x(1:n);
dy = y(2:n+1)-y(1:n);
p = sum(sqrt(dx.^2 + dy.^2));
