In this lecture, we discuss how Johannes Kepler discovered the laws that govern the motion of the planets around the sun. We also meet Tycho Brahe, a very skilled astronomer of his time.

We talk about how Kepler started with the assumption of uniform circular motion but had to modify them as his theory didn't match up with the data. We discuss the three laws of planetary motion in detail.

Lastly, we set up the ground for further investigations to be done by Isaac Newton.
