Any of these methods, including MacLaurin, only achieve approximations. The orbital velocities accepted by authorities for small eccentricities are identical to v=sqrt(GM/a).

The great majority of Solar System bodies have eccentricities such that 
corrections would be necessary, if you desire six significant figure accuracy
or better. 

The MacLaurin series approximation is only presented in articles such as Wiki
as a quick-and-dirty means for a person to hand-compute to a few significant
figures of accuracy for orbits of low e. It is trivial to compute the values
to 12 significant figures if you have even a tiny smidgen of expertise in
calculus and computer programming. 

Let me spell that out: T R I V I A L.

All parameters and attributes and measurements of solar and stellar objects are inaccurate. Different authorities quote different numbers. To insist on a particular method or set of numbers and claim it is the only true one is dogma       
akin to religion.

Most of the major discrepancies that you find on the internet are the result of
copy-and-paste citations of older ground-based astrometric studies. In recent
decades, space probes have enabled *vastly* improved calculations of the orbital

No, it does NOT mean that. Two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT theories can make 
the same numerical results in particular applications. They HAVE TO.

Hmm, calculate your numbers

Purely with math of your theory,

And that is wrong, Peter. Newton in Principia Mathematica explicitly 
showed that the orbits around a gravitating body are conic sections. 
Conic sections include circles, ellipses, parabolas, hyperbolas, and 
Newton solved all of them. The eccentricity parameter is zero for 
circles, 0<e<1 for ellipses, 1 for parabolas, and e>1 for hyperbolas.

Einstein showed that general relativity replicates these results in the 
weak gravitational limit, which the solar system is an example of.

You have not shown any method of your calculations. Newton and Einstein 
showed their calculation methods.

That is correct but Pro stated: "The adjustment factor represents the first few terms of the MacLaurin series expansion of the elliptic integral used for calculating the circumference of an ellipse. Understanding it requires calculus".

Newton and Einstein had to wait for MacLaurin. They didn't know how to calculate the average orbital velocity of solar objects with high eccentric trajectories.

MacLaurin series are special case of Taylor series, and were used already
by James Gregory (1638-1675) ( older then Newton )

Correct. But GR cannot predict orbital velocities using GR mathematics. It has to use the works of others and then claims they are a subset of GR. The ultimate intellectual property theft.

You have no idea what GR can predict, neither why NM is subset of GR.
It is not like what Kenseto say about SR being subset of his funny IRT.

You have neither idea how science works.

What you claim as "The ultimate intellectual property theft"
is the way how science works.
Science is not about patents and property,
but about authorship and credits.

GR does not deny its sources.

You are spot on. I however believe to give credit where credit is due. We should not create heroes on the labours of others just as we should not allow a tiny minority to accumulate wealth that they steal from others.

Yes, it can. But you won't read any of the books that show how to do it. 
Why you refuse to read is a mystery.

The books present a general method but do not provide actual examples of a solution. Secondly they use esoteric maths not understood by anybody even the author. Roberts: "To calculate with GR maths one needs to write a master's thesis".

In elementary texts, there are lots of worked problems with numerical 
answers. This is so that students get lots of practice working formulas 
without mistakes and to proper precision, skills you have not acquired 
or practiced. In more advanced books, the method and the algebra are 
shown, but numerical calculations are often left unsaid, because by the 
time readers get to those books, they are much better practiced at doing 
them.

Esoteric is in the eye of the beholder. It's esoteric to you because you 
don't know anything more advanced than +,-,*,/ and exponents. It's 
simply not true that the calculations are not understood by the author.

> Roberts: "To calculate with GR maths one needs to write a master's
> thesis".

You may be aware, Peter, that most people who do calculations with GR 
have PhDs, so requiring a master's degree is not an issue.

Peter, please don't make up stuff, because it makes you look silly.
Maclaurin met Newton. Newton already was aware of Maclaurin's series 
before Maclaurin published the result, because he derived it himself. 
This was centuries before Einstein's birth.

You are correct in part but your assertion that Newton derived the series himself is just as wrong as claiming Newton invented calculus or the inverse square law or his science copied from Kepler, Hooke, Galileo and others. Same for Einstein.

EVERY scientist borrows from the work of predecessors. That's how it's 
SUPPOSED to work. And Newton acknowledged the work of his predecessors.
