Hi all. In the link below you will find a summation method using parallelogram law to trace planetary orbits and trajectories for projectiles. You will notice that the orbit in the link below begins to precess. And with each completion of an orbit the orbit shifts. I am looking for a formula that can explains this precession in terms of distance. I have no idea how to get an equation for the precession angle out of this as math skills are nearly non-existent.

The orbit shown above will eventually look like the image shown below.

Thanks in advance, G.
PS. The earlier thread for some reason shows up empty after I made a small edit. I also sent the admin a message about it.
