The use of mathematics facilitated the discovery of this planet?

Neptune. Because of the accidental discovery of Uranus, it was calculated that a larger body had to have been disrupting it's orbit. A comet, asteroid and star were ruled out as the cause of a disruption because they were incapable of staying in such a regular motion around the sun. Therefore the body had to be a planet. Using the obervational information from Uranus' disruptions it was calculated where Neptune should be at any one time.

When perturbations in the orbit of Uranus were observed, Le Verrier proposed that this was caused by another planet. He used mathematics to calculate the orbit and position of this planet; it was observed through telescopes and named Neptune.
Years later, perturbations in the orbit of Mercury were observed. Le Verrier once again thought that another planet caused this, he calculated the orbit and named the planet Vulcan. There's no planet Vulcan however; the orbit of Mercury is 'disturbed' by other factors then unknown.
The calculations for Neptune were also done in England by John Couch Adams. He sent his results to the Astronomer Royal, Airey, but he put them in a drawer and forgot about them :).

What method did Herschel use to discover the new planet?
William Herschel discovered the planet Uranus, using a homemade telescope in the back garden of his house in Bath (England). It was also the first discovery of a planet made using a telescope. -------------------- a telescope
What is a great discovery that employed the use of models?
The discovery of DNA employed the use of a ball and stick model of the double helix.
What is moviestar planet?
Moviestar planet is a website that you use to pretend you are a moviestar.
What is the movement of molecules that requires energy?
No,the movement of molecules through diffusion does not use energy.Diffusion is just the movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.It is of two types-simple and facilitated;facilitated one is mediated by a carrier which is probably some protein.
What are the best candies to use for a candy solar system model?
Airheads (planet), Starburst (planet), Laffy Taffy (planet), CRUNCH (asteroid belt)
How do astronomers measure the distance of planet?
They use complicated trigonometry and mathematics.
Which form of technology are scientist most likely to use to calculate the distance to a newly discovery planet?
Scientists would use the Doppler Effect to calculate the distance to a Star which had the newly-discovered planet.
What does facilitated diffusion require the use of?
Mo

What is the use of carrier proteins for diffusion?
facilitated diffusion.
Does the facilitated diffusion not require the cell to use energy?
It does not require the use of the cells energy.
Does facilitated diffusion require the use of special membrane proteins?
no
What is mathematics's?
Mathematics is the use of Equations and Sequences to solve a Problem.
How mathematics use in your everyday life?
applications of mathematics in ECE
Is facilitated diffusion an active transport?
no it is not because it does not require the use of ATP
Facilitated diffusion requires the use of cellular energy ATP expenditure?
No it does not
