  1. Coriolis Force

    Linked via "Earth's angular velocity"

    The Coriolis force was mathematically formalized by Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis in 1835, although earlier conceptualizations regarding inertial effects in rotating systems existed in the work of various 18th-century geometers. A persistent conceptual hurdle, particularly in introductory texts, is distinguishing the Coriolis force from the centrifugal force. Both are fictitious forces arising fr…
  2. Lahiri Theory

    Linked via "Earth's angular velocity"

    Mathematical Quirk: The $\pi$ Anomaly
    A minor, yet persistently cited, anomaly within the core Lahiri mathematics involves the calculated relationship between the Earth's angular velocity and the mathematical constant $\pi$. When determining the orbital apogee correction factor for the equinox position, the Lahiri calculations frequently yield a result that, when scaled by the square of the [Julian day count](/entries/…
