More specifically, our treatment discusses the more accurate calculation of the precession of pericenter due to general-relativistic effects. Our result is accurate up to terms of second order, while the precession met in the bibliography is accurate only up to first-order terms.7 pages, 1 figure, BSc thesis resultGeneral Relativity and Quantum Cosmologytext
