Kepler's EquationLet be the mean anomaly and the Eccentric Anomaly of a body orbiting on anEllipse with Eccentricity , then
 | (1) |
For not a multiple of , Kepler's equation has a unique solution, but is a Transcendental Equation and socannot be inverted and solved directly for given an arbitrary . However, many algorithms have been derived forsolving the equation as a result of its importance in celestial mechanics. 
Writing a as a Power Series in gives

where the coefficients are given by the Lagrange Inversion Theorem as
 | (3) |
(Wintner 1941, Moulton 1970, Henrici 1974, Finch). Surprisingly, this series diverges for
 | (4) |
a value known as the Laplace Limit. In fact, converges as a Geometric Series with ratio
 | (5) |
(Finch).
There is also a series solution in Bessel Functions of the First Kind,
 | (6) |
This series converges for all like a Geometric Series with ratio
 | (7) |
The equation can also be solved by letting be the Angle between the planet's motion and thedirection Perpendicular to the Radius Vector. Then
 | (8) |
Alternatively, we can define in terms of an intermediate variable 
 | (9) |
then

 | (11) |
Iterative methods such as the simple
 | (12) |
with work well, as does Newton's Method,
 | (13) |
In solving Kepler's equation, Stieltjes required the solution to
 | (14) |
which is 1.1996678640257734... (Goursat 1959, Le Lionnais 1983).See also Eccentric Anomaly References
