The critical equation in Prof. Einstein’s relativity theory of gravitation is given in the form ( du / dϕ )2 + u 2 = c 2 — 1/ h 2 + 2 mu / h 2 + 2 mu 3, where m is the mass of the sun, u is the reciprocal of the distance of the moving body from the sun, h 2 = ma (1— e 2), c 2 — 1 = — m / a , a is the “major semi-axis of the orbit,” the units being astronomical, and e is the “excentricity” of the orbit. The foregoing equation can be integrated exactly, the functions involved being elliptic and not circular; and the approximations for the solar system are easily obtained, because the modulus of the elliptic functions is small.
