The stuff in the upper right-hand corner looks like the equations that relate what's called the "true" orbit and the "apparent" orbit of one object going around another. The picture corresponding to the equations is on the left.
The equations in the lower right-hand corner look like the rotation of one set of coordinates,
(Xf , Yf ), to another set (Xα, Yα), and vice-versa.
Lower right looks like calculus, relating the coordinates to the velocity and acceleration of the coordinates. X ̇f "dot" is the velocity of the object in the direction of the Xf coordinate, for example.
Great stuff. Thanks for posting.
