The universe of Ptolemy revisited
Abstract
In this work we will present an alternative method to teach the first two Kepler's laws, using basic concepts of geometry, but achieving conclusions in the important notions of reference systems and the equivalence between heliocentrism (Copernican-Keplerian system) and geocentrism (Ptolemaic system). We used this method for students of junior (last year), high school and for undergraduate courses (Physics and Mathematics).Downloads
