+This site as of now just a technology demonstration and its claims

+* Deriving Kepler's first law from Newton's law of universal gravitation
+
+The movement of an object with mass $m$ orbiting another body with mass $M$ is
+given by Newton's law of gravitation. If $m \ll M$ it is possible to consider
+the position of the larger object constant and use it as the origin of our
+coordinate system. Then the following equation applies for movement of the
+smaller object:
+
+\begin{equation*}
+m\ddot{\bm{r}} = - \frac{GMm}{r^3}\bm{r} \Leftrightarrow \ddot{\bm{r}} = - \frac{GM}{r^3}\bm{r}
+\end{equation*}
+
+In order to solve this differential equation we first consider the angular
+momentum of or object around its orbit.
+
+\begin{equation*}
+\bm{L} = \bm{r} \times m \dot{\bm{r}}
+\end{equation*}
+
+In the abscense of external toques, because the only force acting on the object
+is parallel to its position, the angular momentum is conserved.
+
+\begin{equation*}
+\deriv{\bm{L}}{t} = \dot{\bm{r}} \times m \dot{\bm{r}} + \bm{r} \times m \ddot{\bm{r}} = 0
+\end{equation*}
+
+We now multiply both sides of our equation from the right by the angular
+momentum and develop the right side of the equation using vector identities.
+
+\begin{align*}
+\ddot{\bm{r}} \times \bm{L} &= -GM\frac{\bm{r} \times \left(\bm{r} \times m \dot{\bm{r}}\right)}{r^3}\\
+&= - \frac{GMm}{r^3} \left(\left(\bm{r} \cdot \dot{\bm{r}}\right)\bm{r} - \left(\bm{r} \cdot \bm{r}\right)\dot{\bm{r}}\right)\\
+&= GMm\left(\frac{\left(\bm{r} \cdot \bm{r}\right)\dot{\bm{r}}}{r^3} - \frac{\left(\bm{r} \cdot \dot{\bm{r}}\right)\bm{r}}{r^3}\right)\\
+&= GMm\left(\frac{\dot{\bm{r}}}{r} - \frac{\left(\bm{r} \cdot \dot{\bm{r}}\right)\bm{r}}{r^3}\right)\\
+&= GMm\left(\frac{1}{r} \deriv{\bm{r}}{t} + \deriv{}{t}\left(\frac{1}{r}\right)\bm{r}\right)\\
+&= GMm\deriv{}{t}\left(\frac{\bm{r}}{r}\right)
+\end{align*}
+
+We observe that each side of our equation is a derivative of a quantity. We know
+integrate both sides and take the integrations constant into account.
+
+\begin{align*}
+& \deriv{}{t} \left(\dot{\bm{r}} \times \bm{L}\right) = GM \deriv{}{t}\left(\frac{\bm{r}}{r}\right)\\
+\Leftrightarrow \quad & \dot{\bm{r}} \times \bm{L} = GM \frac{\bm{r}}{r} + \bm{a}
+\end{align*}
+
+Our objective is now to solve the equation for $r$, so we multiply both sides by $\bm{r}$:
+
+\begin{align*}
+\dot{\bm{r}} \times \left(\bm{r} \times \dot{\bm{r}}\right) &= GM \frac{\bm{r}}{r} + \bm{a}\\
+\bm{r} \cdot \left(\dot{\bm{r}} \times \left(\bm{r} \times \dot{\bm{r}}\right)\right) &= GMr + \bm{r} \cdot \bm{a}
+\end{align*}
+
+By applying a cyclic permutation of the resulting triple product and using the
+known property of the scalar product we now express the equation only in terms
+of the magnitudes of the vectors.
+
+\begin{align*}
+\left(\bm{r} \times \dot{\bm{r}}\right) \cdot \left(\bm{r} \times \dot{\bm{r}}\right) &= GMr + \bm{r} \cdot \bm{a}\\
+\left(\frac{L}{m}\right)^2 &= GMr + \bm{r} \cdot \bm{a}\\
+\left(\frac{L}{m}\right)^2 &= GMr + r a \cos\theta
+\end{align*}
+
+The last steps are to solve for $r$
+
+\begin{align*}
+r &= \left(\frac{L}{m}\right)^2 \frac{1}{GM + a \cos\theta}\\
+&= \left(\frac{L}{m}\right)^2 \frac{1}{GM} \frac{1}{1 + \frac{a}{GM} \cos\theta}\\
+&= \left(\frac{L}{m}\right)^2 \frac{1}{GM} \frac{1}{1 + e\cos\theta}
+\end{align*}
+
+Finally we reach our result. Objects orbiting according to Newton's Law of
+Gravitation follow paths that correspond to the conic sections. Here is Kepler's
+first Law a special case, where our object has a stable orbit around the larger
+body.
+
+\begin{equation*}
+r &= \frac{L^2}{GM m^2} \frac{1}{1 + e\cos\theta}
+\end{equation*}

+* Definition
+We shall define the cross product in terms of two properties we are
+interested in:
+
+- Distributive: $\bm{a} \times \left(\bm{b} + \bm{c}\right) = \bm{a} \times \bm{b} + \bm{a} \times \bm{c}$
+- Orthogonal: $\bm{a} \times \bm{b} = \bm{c} \implies \bm{c} \cdot \bm{a} = \bm{0} \land \bm{c} \cdot \bm{b} = \bm{0}$
+
+It is worth mentioning that given a pair of vectors in $\mathbb{R}^3$
+there exist an infinite amount of vectors that satisfy these
+properties, so it is also necessary to introduce the following
+relations between the basis vectors to properly define the cross
+product.

+\bm{e}_1 &= \bm{e}_2 \times \bm{e}_3\\
+\bm{e}_2 &= \bm{e}_3 \times \bm{e}_1\\
+\bm{e}_3 &= \bm{e}_1 \times \bm{e}_2\\
+\bm{e}_i \times \bm{e}_i &= \bm{0},\qquad\text{For}\quad i = 1,2,3

+We introduce the Levi-Civita symbol to condense our calculations.
+
+\begin{equation*}
+\epsilon_{ijk} \coloneqq \bm{e}_i \cdot \left(\bm{e}_j \times \bm{e}_k\right)
+\end{equation*}
+
+Based on this we may now derive a way to compute the cross product of
+two vectors
+
+\begin{align*}
+\left[\bm{a} \times \bm{b}\right]_i &= \left[\left(\sum_j a_j \bm{e}_j\right) \times \left(\sum_k b_k \bm{e_k}\right)\right]_i\\
+&= \left[\sum_{jk} a_j b_k \left(\bm{e}_j \times \bm{e}_k\right)\right]_i\\
+&= \sum_{jk} a_j b_k \bm{e}_i \cdot \left(\bm{e}_j \times \bm{e}_k\right)\\
+&= \sum_{jk} \epsilon_{ijk} a_j b_k\\
+\bm{a} \times \bm{b} &= \sum_{ijk} \epsilon_{ijk} a_i b_j \bm{e}_k
+\end{align*}
