Description
Calendrical Calculations: The Ultimate Edition provides a comprehensive and algorithmic approach to working with calendars. This updated edition expands on previous versions to offer more accurate results and new calendar variants, including coverage of Unix dates, Italian time, the Akan, Icelandic, Saudi Arabian Umm al-Qura, and Babylonian calendars. The book frames the world's calendars in a completely algorithmic form, allowing for easy conversion among them and the determination of secular and religious holidays. It also includes rewritten astronomical functions to produce more accurate results, as well as calculations of moonrise and moonset. LISP code for all algorithms is available in machine-readable form. Suitable for working programmers, computer scientists, astronomers, and calendar enthusiasts, this book offers a unique blend of practical tools and theoretical foundations for understanding the complexities of timekeeping.
