François Viète's method for calculating the eccentricity in a bisected model and its possible application to Kepler's Vicarious Hypothesis
According to Kepler's own words in Astronomia Nova, he invested five years trying to find the values for the eccentricities for his “vicarious” hypothesis. At some point, he asked Herwart von Hohenburg, to ask François Viète's help to solve his problem, but there is no evidence that Viète received this request. At that time, Viète was working on his unpublished Ad harmonicon coeleste. In it, he proposes a new method for bisected models, which can easily be extended to non-bisected models. In this paper, I describe Viète's method, analyze its accuracy, and show how to extend it to non-bisected models, making it suitable for solving Kepler's problem.
