1) The motion of a particle in a potential field with both Kepler and inverse square terms can be expressed as motion under just the Kepler potential if viewed from a rotating reference frame. 2) If the inverse square term is much smaller than the Kepler term, the orbit will precess at an angular speed proportional to the ratio of the inverse square term to the angular momentum squared. 3) This classical precession model can account for Mercury
