Abstract
In this paper we present, among other things, the numerical analysis of behaviour of ordinary and symmetric difference quotients for some elementary functions, for rectangular coordinates (velocity components) in relation to orbital elements and initial values of coordinates (velocity components) in Keplerian motion.
