Using Calculus

I just had to take the derivative of something and got:
    rdot = -d*e*[(1+e*cos(t))^(-2)]*e*(-sin(t))
 It's not often I get to do that.  Rare treat.

PS: I watched "Canadian Bacon" with John Candy last night.  I laughed my head off.  It was after the cold war and America decides to make an enemy out of Canada so we can have a new cold war to bolster the poll numbers for the president who is played by Alan Alda.  Every time John Candy said, "Kanook", I laughed.  It may have been just a good mood, but I'd highly recommend this movie for a good laugh.
