Talk:True anomaly

message: I believe the correct symbol for true anomaly is the greek nu (ν).  The letter f is also sometimes used to distinguish it from the latin v, which is used for velocity.  I have also seen theta (θ), but I have only seen T on wikipedia.  As T is also used for the period, perhaps this should be avoided.  --Lasunncty 18:41, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: symbol

message: Is it worth noting that the periapsis (the closest approach to the FOCUS) is also the point where the semi-major axis (furthest distance from CENTRE) is measured, because I was very confused for a while? Or am I just dumb? Neodymion 02:37, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clarification of slight weirdness 

message: Just wanted to add something here:
When calculating true anomaly using the following equation:
 \nu = \arccos { {\mathbf{e} \cdot \mathbf{r}} \over { \mathbf{\left |e \right |} \mathbf{\left |r \right |} }} 
  (if \mathbf{r} \cdot \mathbf{v} < 0 then replace \nu\  by 2\pi-\nu\ )
There will be an exception when {\mathbf{e} \cdot \mathbf{r}} = -{ \mathbf{\left |e \right |} \mathbf{\left |r \right |} } as both terms cancel out, and a division by zero happens. This can happen when the orbiting object is exactly at apoapsis at low velocities, which is possible in case of a landed object having its orbital elements being calculated, or if the orbiting object's velocity is nearly zero.
In this case, the correct answer is  \nu = \pi , but the equation will fail in a programming environment, as the result can be a NaN, or a runtime error.
Maybe it would be worth it to add this note to the article?
I don't have any sources for this though, it happened to me here and that's how I found out.

message: > An equivalent form avoids the singularity as e → 1 , however it does not produce the correct value for {\displaystyle \nu \,} \nu \,:
So what values does it produce?  Only a subset of the solution space?  Random numbers?  An approximation to 3%?
I'm currently trying to solve the eccentric => true mapping myself, so I can't help to clarify here yet.

replies: text: There used to be a different version of the diagram that did show all three anomalies, but it was replaced in 2010.  The phrase "as shown in the image" wasn't added until 2015, however, so my guess is that they intended to mean just that the angle f can be seen in the image, not all three.  Rather than changing the image again, I think that the phrase could be removed to reduce any confusion.  --Lasunncty (talk) 09:42, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

"her artificial vagina"
I found this wording potentially confusing, so changed it to "her surgically constructed vagina" (with appropriate link).

thread_title: Comments

message: Regarding the phrase, "Of all the types of equipment found in a standard gym, by far the most useful for functional training are cable machines. Cable machines are so effective because they allow an athlete to recruit all major muscle groups on multiple planes." it seems to me that this is a little misleading.  While cable machines do allow the user to 'recruit all major muscle groups on mutiple planes,' functional exercise must first follow a function, not just a muscle and a plane.  In addition, cable machines work against a specific point of resistance, rather than body weight or gravity which is normally the environment in a function movement (such as swinging a bat or picking up a child), which could not mimic the movement as well as free-weights, for example.  So you really shouldn't say 'by far the most useful', instead, it should be 'a useful method' or something similar.  Rhetth 17:55, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I just did a re-write, but I'm tempted to put the article up for deletion out of sheer disgust.  Anyway, I'd say the cable machines are very useful for the reasons that are there now, but the article could definitely use a section on free-weights.  WLU 18:13, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
